The analysis of engine intake air cooling device by using thermoelectric module

Abstract

The intake air cooling device of the engine is discussed in this chapter. The thermoelectric module (T.E.M.) is applied on the device for the decrease of the intake air temperature to the engine. The device is placed between the engine and the air filter, and it can increase the efficiency of the induction system by reducing induction air heat and promoting more thorough combustion. The closed water cooling system can remove the heat produced from the thermoelectric module and increase the efficiency of the thermoelectric module. According to the device, it can increase the engine power about 60 % at most and decrease the intake air temperature by 14 %. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
