Charge Air Cooler
Mack

The Charge Air Cooler cools compressed air from the turbocharger before it enters the engine’s intake manifold, lowering intake temperatures and increasing air density for more efficient combustion. This results in improved power output, reduced risk of detonation, and better overall fuel efficiency under load. The cooler’s core design emphasizes robust heat transfer with adequate pressure drop management, while fins and passages are optimized for airflow and durability in dusty, high-heat environments. Regular cleaning of fins and checking for coolant leaks support sustained performance. Selection considers compatibility with turbocharger and intake piping, ensuring a proper seal and reliable performance across a wide range of operating conditions. Source One Parts Center.
