Intercooler Definition the name of Intercooler, it consists of two words "inter" which also means "internal" and "cooler" which means a cooling device. Intercooler is a device used to cool air internally. This can be interpreted, that the intake air that will be inserted into the combustion chamber will be flow through an intercooler so the air can reach lower temperature. Why does intake air need to be lowered? We know that the turbocharger is associated with high-temperature exhaust gases. If the intake air passes through the turbocharger, surely the air temperature will increase. And there are some negative effects because of this high air temperature, among others…
