Re: Killer Chiller - intercooling option
I guess I gotta get into this one, its my area anyway.
40 amps at 12 volts is 480 watts and about 1 horsepower input to create this much power. would say lets see the charts first cause the TE coolers are inefficient and for 480 watts in Id guess that you get 120 watts of cooling which is only 360 btu's. I believe the A/C is about 12,000 btu per hour or 200 btu per minute. I thought of this and walked away from it in an earlier post as not worth the minimal gains.
A big fan on the intercooler would make much better sense to me.
Today I was running on the autocross track and my bigger intercooler was showing a water temperature difference of OVER 50 degrees. I have 3.1 GPM with my johnson pump and all that works out to 1240 btus per minute, mind you I was not on the gas but about 50% of the time, turns and such. Thats over 6 times the A/C's capability.
It sound too good to be true and there fore Id suggest caution, read the specs. Water temp in versis out.... Oh I do freon every day, Id NOT TOUCH MY CAR FOR THIS DEAL.
PS the write-up stated that the A/C cuts off when your in boost .....Ah and it does what for me then?
