See Thru Intercooler In Slow Motion - (Dyno Run High Boost)

Рет қаралды 2,470,103

2 жыл бұрын

I'm back with the Supra and the see-through intercooler, this time to do a higher boost test and get the car on the dyno, after I reinforce the intercooler since in the previous video it blew up.
I also feed the intercooler some fog through the air filter and through the turbo and film it with the high-speed camera in slow motion to allow us to see the flow patterns and how the air distributes in the intercooler.
then I go ahead and start cranking up the boost to see how much pressure the intercooler can actually hold.
Definitely a little different than I thought it was going to be, I always thought that the air mostly flowed in the lower half of the intercooler but as you can see in the video due to the static pressure resistance and air taking the easiest path it seems to even out over the entire length of the intercooler.
it was also really cool to see how well the intercooler worked at cooling that air beyond what I ever thought.
here's a link to the first video:

How are 15PSI a 1000 pounds of force? You one of the guys that believe you need bigger brakes when you mount bigger wheels on a car?

@WarpedPerception Жыл бұрын

15 PSI = 15 Pounds per Square Inch. 5 in wide x 16 in High = 80 square Inches. 15 Pounds x 80 Square inches = 1200 Pounds of static force or load pushing on each one of those walls. If you put larger wheels yes you should have larger brakes, if you put a larger rim and a shorter tire to equal the same circumference as the original wheel then you don't. But most cars need bigger brakes anyway.

@@WarpedPerception Yeah I figured. Btw: have you heard about the "gas doubler"? A small compressor that you can put in between the fuel nozzle and the tank. It compresses the fuel and increases the volume and the distance you can travel that way. Awesome device. Everyone should have one, especially people that use turbochargers. Can optionally be ordered with an integrated fuel pump.

It'd be COOL to obtain temperature variances and differentiations in daily driving conditions. Even so, really cool couple of vlogs about intercoolers. Your creative thinking is fantastic! Then to transfer it to practical material form is icing on the cake! KUDOS!!

@joshbingham7774 2 жыл бұрын

we endurancce race a Subaru WRX. Yeah, heat soak is real and there are ways to minimize it, but the IC has to get a delta T across it to transfer heat, so it's somewhat unavoidable. Subaru uses a water sprayer like for winshield squirters and a timer that sprays the IC for about 10 seconds. That evaporative cooling is good for 20-30 hp for about 30 seconds. Nuce push-to-pass button, though!

The dynamics of the ‘fog’ also shows why more developed end tanks are beneficial in directing airflow across the entire core as well as directing it from the core, thru the tank, and into the subsequent piping.

@robbfisher2876 Жыл бұрын

Absolutely! I would also be curious to see if keeping the same end tanks (or even smaller ones to allow for a larger heat exchanging area), but changing the cross section of each vane so they are smaller at the inlet and increase at a proportionate amount the further you get away from it. Or even easier (for visualization) would be to have the inlet and outlet at opposing heights (i.e, top and bottom). It's all moot, as the temps alone showed massive improvements as is... any better gains would be miniscule in comparison.

Love seeing this and how the fog illustrated the flow (in slo mo) especially as the boost dropped off. I wonder if it would even be worth running the hot air in at the top part of the cooler but leave the exit at the bottom where it currently is. Not sure that would make a difference in cooling but be interesting to see/measure.

@kmemz 2 жыл бұрын

I think that the smoke pattern shows perfectly the problem with having the inlet and outlet directly across from each other and not offset. You can see that the top of the radiator does get some airflow, but it only gets any airflow because the shortest path is making too much resistance, and you can watch as the smoke pulls through the top half a lot more slowly. A simple radiator design such as that commonly has the inlets and outlets offset in order to alleviate this, and make more efficient use of the whole radiator. Some of the more advanced designs I've seen also section out the airflow into three or four segments before it gets to the fin stacks, which I imagine also works pretty well for flow distribution. But at the end of the day, the tempurature tests certainly show that optimizing the flow pattern within a radiator isn't necessary to have a *functional* radiator, and that radiator certainly pulled some weight when it came to cooling. To be expected, given how thick it is.

@WarpedPerception 2 жыл бұрын

That is literally the only and the exact reason why I went through all of the trouble of building it and filming the video, I have been wondering this forever. Every front mount intercooler that I can remember that I have installed had the inlet and outlet right across from one another, and the rest of the inner cooler would stretch out in One direction, I always thought how much air is actually going through that top portion especially under higher boost and higher velocities. My goal in this video was to do a higher pressure test like 15 20 psi with the fog, but it failed prematurely and that's okay, I may come back with a bigger better intercooler to run some big boost but I'm not 100% sure it's worth it... Thanks for the awesome comment insight and information!

@kmemz 2 жыл бұрын

@@WarpedPerception Is it really that common in automotive? My background is in IT, and a lot of my knowledge here comes from interpreting off a mix of that and a basic understanding of thermal and flow physics. Most PC watercooling radiators are split units so that the inlets and outlets are on the same side, but the few radiators with a straight through design I've seen are all offset as I mentioned. I suppose, in the PC world, a radiator design like that doesn't introduce enough resistance to the flow rate to force flow in what would otherwise be a dead zone, and the performance impact is a lot more noticeable.

@tepidtuna7450 Жыл бұрын

Well designed ICs have a number of techniques to balance the airflow across each channel of the IC core. The most notable is curving the end tanks in towards the core the further it is away from the inlet/outlet. This speeds up the flow and should get rid of the still / turbulent flow in those areas. Corky Bell wrote a great book on turbocharging. Explains much of this and more in the Intercooler section.

Didn't realize just how profound an era that was, until compared to some of this stuff that's rolling off of today's production lines. Some current production setups are interesting - particularly the 2022 Toyota Tundra (V6 twin-turbo). That's damn near guaranteed to be a tuner's wet-dream in a few short years.
