cryo intercooling

[Reboosted]

Ok I'm looking for an excuse to hook the ac back up. The truck has an aftermarket turbo and the ac lines were removed. I was wanting to run the braided lines anyway and was thinking of connecting the upper intercooler to it (or an aftermarket one), like how the suburbans used dual ac. I remember reading something about this when Jethro had a crazy sy site, and I still had my first ty. Any thoughts on this?

Re: cryo intercooling

If I were you, had the money and the time, I'd go to the salvage yard and get the necessary parts and do it. Then I'd publish a tech article on this forum.

It should not be hard to do. Just figure out how you want the lines run.

Go for it. Keep us updated.

Been done. Google "Intracooler".

1) The A/C compressor is off at WOT.
2) This leaves you with a cool down/heat up/cool down cycle.

The + side is that it's *really* cold once you've cooled it down.

The way these normally work is to have the freon cool a vessel of water that then gets used to cool the IC. It's sort of a variation of the beer-cooler ice-box, only with an active cooler.

The bigger the tank you use, the longer/better the cooler works. Downer is that the bigger the tank, the heavier it is...
