Tube & Header CAC

Application: On-Road & Off-Road Specialty, Power Generation

At the forefront of turbocharged engine technology lies a crucial component that ensures optimal performance and durability: Tube & Header CAC (Charge Air Cooler) products. These meticulously crafted coolers represent the pinnacle of engineering excellence, boasting a construction designed to efficiently cool compressed air before it enters the engine. Engineered with durability in mind, Tube & Header CAC units feature a robust framework composed of materials such as aluminum, ensuring longevity and resilience in diverse operating conditions. Their intricate design, comprising parallel rows of tubes interconnected by headers, facilitates the seamless flow of air, optimizing heat transfer and enhancing engine efficiency. As essential components in intercooler systems, Tube & Header CAC products play a pivotal role in enhancing engine performance, reliability, and longevity across a myriad of automotive, marine, and industrial applications.

Construction:

  • Tube & Header CAC products are typically constructed with durable materials such as aluminum for longevity and corrosion resistance.
  • They consist of a series of tubes with internal fins arranged in parallel rows, connected by headers at each end to facilitate fluid flow.
  • The tubes are often stacked and enclosed within end tanks, forming a compact core structure for efficient heat exchange.

Functionality:

  • Tube & Header CAC products function as heat exchangers in turbocharged engines, cooling the compressed air from the turbocharger before it enters the engine.
  • As hot compressed air flows through the tubes, heat is transferred to the ambient air, resulting in denser and cooler compressed air for improved combustion.
  • The headers ensure uniform distribution of airflow across the tubes, optimizing heat transfer efficiency and cooling performance.

Efficiency:

  • These products offer high thermal efficiency due to their engineered fin surface area and optimized airflow design, enabling rapid heat transfer and effective cooling.
  • The compact construction minimizes pressure drops and maximizes heat exchange, reducing the turbo lag on the turbocharger and improving overall engine efficiency.
