Trial 4 is an effort to address the overheating issue that arose during trial 3 when one of the hair dryers shutoff from the high intake air temperature. I speculate that the resistance caused by the intercooler core is backing up the hot air inside the hair dryer(s) and causing them to overheat. To reduce […]

The third setup to be considered for an IC temperature evaluation adds a second hair dryer to the heat supply side. Note: I’m aware that a hair dryer does not output air of the same temperature and volume of an IS20 or IS38 turbocharger.  With this arrangement the supply air temperature became very hot, close

For the second trial in my effort to find a suitable bench test of intercooler cooling I’ve swapped to a larger hair dryer to see what the affect on temperature is. Note: I am aware that a hair dryer does not generate output air at the same temperature or volume as an IS20 or IS38
