Intercoolers for Efficient Engine Cooling | Valeo Service

Intercoolers for Efficient Engine Performance

The intercooler, or charge air cooler, is a vital component in reducing fuel consumption while enhancing engine power and efficiency. By lowering the temperature of compressed air before it enters the engine, the intercooler ensures optimal combustion, which increases power by approximately 20%.

Key Benefits of Valeo Intercoolers:

• Performance: Valeo intercoolers are designed with folded tubes and turbulators, ensuring high performance and durability under extreme conditions.
• Durability: Made from specific aluminum alloys to resist corrosion and extreme temperatures, these intercoolers are built to last.
• Efficient Cooling: Intercoolers lower compressed air temperatures from 130°C to 60°C, enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing turbo lag.

Common Causes of Intercooler Failure:

• High operating temperatures and vehicle vibrations.
• Corrosion from environmental factors like salt or exhaust gases.
• Turbocharger failure, requiring intercooler replacement.
• Poor maintenance, such as incorrect oil replacement or overly tight connections.

Valeo offers an extensive range of aftermarket intercoolers, ensuring a perfect fit for European vehicles, with 175 part numbers available. All Valeo intercoolers undergo rigorous testing for mechanical and corrosion resistance, guaranteeing long-lasting performance. Whether you are replacing a damaged unit or upgrading for better efficiency, Valeo intercoolers are designed to meet the highest OE standards.
