Study Notes
Charge Air Cooler Functionality
- After compression by the engine's turbocharger, the compressed air is cooled down in the charge air cooler.
- The cooled air then enters the engine, increasing its density.
- This process improves the engine's efficiency by reducing the air temperature.
Charge Air Cooler Characteristics
- Charge air coolers are not part of a ship's air conditioning system.
- They are not involved in heating the compressed air.
- They are typically made of metallic materials (not non-metallic).
