Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A water-cooling intercooler apparatus, may include a low-temperature radiator in which coolant flows to cool supercharged air supplied to an engine, wherein the low-temperature radiator is provided with an inlet into which the coolant flows, an outlet from which the coolant discharges, a body portion which is made of a plurality of connecting pipes for the coolant to flow therein, a first coolant tank configured to distribute the coolant to the plurality of connecting pipes, and a second coolant tank configured to collect the coolant; and at least one actuated-valves provided at the first or second coolant tank to open or close an inside of the first or second coolant tank for the coolant to flow in a portion of the plurality of connecting pipes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A water-cooling intercooler apparatus, comprising: a low-temperature radiator in which coolant flows to cool supercharged air supplied to an engine, wherein the low-temperature radiator is provided with an inlet into which the coolant flows, an outlet from which the coolant discharges, a body portion which is made of a plurality of connecting pipes for the coolant to flow therein, a first coolant tank configured to distribute the coolant to the plurality of connecting pipes, and a second coolant tank configured to collect the coolant; and at least one actuated-valves provided at the first or second coolant tank to open or close an inside of the first or second coolant tank for the coolant to flow in a portion of the plurality of connecting pipes. 2 . The water-cooling intercooler apparatus of claim 1 , wherein when the low-temperature radiator is made of a U-shaped flowing structure and the at least one actuated-valve is provided at the second coolant tank at which the inlet is not provided, a partition wall is formed in the second coolant thank at which the inlet is provided. 3 . The water-cooling intercooler apparatus of claim 2 , wherein when the low-temperature radiator is made of the U-shaped flowing structure and the inside of the second coolant tank is closed by the at least one actuated-valve, a first bypass outlet is adjacently formed at the at least one actuated-valve to make the coolant flow towards the outlet. 4 . The water-cooling intercooler apparatus of claim 3 , wherein a first bypass inlet is formed at the outlet of the second coolant tank to be connected to the first bypass outlet. 5 . The water-cooling intercooler apparatus of claim 1 , wherein when the low-temperature radiator is made of an I-shaped flowing structure, each of the first and second coolant tanks is provided with the at least one actuated-valve. 6 . The water-cooling intercooler apparatus of claim 5 , wherein when the low-temperature radiator is made of the I-shaped flowing structure and the insides of the first and second coolant tanks are closed by the at least one actuated-valve, a second bypass outlet is adjacently formed at the at least one actuated-valve provided at the second coolant tank, wherein the outlet is provided at the second coolant tank and the second bypass outlet is configured to make the coolant flow towards the outlet of the second coolant tank. 7 . The water-cooling intercooler apparatus of claim 6 , wherein a second bypass inlet is formed at the outlet of the second coolant tank to be connected to the second bypass outlet.
