Intercooler EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE: Heat exchanger boosting Range & Availability Mechanical and Thermal Stress Resistance air-charged engines Competitive range of intercoolers covering the most popular car, van and truck models. Plastic tanks designed with special Program of more than 520 items covering reinforcing inner crossbars and specially 1,700 OE numbers and more than 88% of the strengthened inlets and outlets, to European car park. Role & Operation protect the tank against stress caused by high temperatures and mechanical Thermal Stress Efficient, Reliable & Safe tensions. Resistance The intercooler significantly improves the Reinforced with at least 30-35% combustion process in turbo-charged systems, Designed and manufactured towards the Specially designed side panels with aftermarket, while thoroughly tested to match fiberglass. No recycled plastics are thus increasing the engine power effect. cuts to lower the influence of thermal OE quality - Nissens intercoolers are submitted used in the mixture. All Nissens’ expansion on the core construction. to corrosion, vibration, pressure impulse, thermal truck intercoolers are custom-welded, The main role of the intercooler is to reduce the expansion and thermal performance tests. ensuring an exceptionally strong and temperature of the hot air compressed by the durable welding seam. turbocharger, before it reaches the engine’s Easy-handling packaging and excellent protection against transport damages. combustion chamber. This has a significant impact Optimized on the charge effect, as the cooled air has a much Supreme thermal performance and extended Design higher density in terms of air molecules per cubic lifespan thanks to a number of special features Specially designed core centimeter. This increases the volume of intake air, applied to Nissens intercoolers. end plates to minimize resulting in a far better engine output. influence of the mechanical stress and breakdown. Possible Designs Excellent Cooling Performance • Plastic tanks, aluminum core Tubes equipped with turbulators, • Full aluminum construction ensuring better airflow and larger surface to exchange the heat. Compact • Water-cooled charge-air cooler fin construction with louvres increasing the heat exchange. Important to know • A malfunctioning intercooler causes an engine efficiency drop and can lead to serious damage of the turbocharger, exhaust filters (DPF/FAP) or the entire engine. • Pay attention to symptoms of a defective or leaking intercooler, such as noticeable drop of engine power, increased fuel consumption or unnatural smoke from the exhaust system. • Intercoolers must always be replaced after the vehicle’s turbocharger has failed and whenever a new turbo is installed. Carbonized oil and metal chips from the damaged turbo may clog the Perfect Finish intercooler channels, causing the newly Connections and mounting points are installed turbo to fail. designed with a complete fit for the vehicle layout, enabling a firm and easy installation.
