Intercoolers
Laminova offers heat exchangers that are especially designed for intercoolers in turbo and supercharged petrol and diesel engines. The heat exchangers are compact, easy to install and more efficient than conventional coolers.
The exchangers have unique designed cores for intercooler applications. The air-to-liquid system gives increased efficiency compared to an air-to-air system. With the air-to-liquid system you will get cold air right from the start.
High performance
The high performance, compared to that of the common plate style intercoolers, is a result of the extremely large surface area and the unique flow pattern. Laminova core design gives an extremely low pressure drop on the charged air side.
Compact design
Laminova coolers are small, compact and circular. The compact core design makes it easy to install in the inlet manifold. The heat exchanger cores are patented.
Installation
Best result is achieved if the heat exchanger is installed in the inlet manifold. This improves the response compared to that of traditional air-to-air intercoolers due to shorter flow length. The Laminova intercooler reduces the noise level and pulsation.
The core can be delivered as a separate component, ready for installation.
Better torque, response and performance
With intercooler cores installed, you achieve better torque, response and performance compared to those of conventional coolers.
Environmental advantages
The intercooler reduces hazardous emissions of nitrogen. The engine temperature becomes more even due to improved air distribution balance.
Separate cooling circuit
The air-to-liquid intercooler system needs a separate cooling circuit with a circulation pump and a separate radiator. Laminova can supply intercooler housings for test and evaluation. For racing and aftermarket application we can provide design suggestions how to build an intercooler using the Laminova cores.
Special core for charged engines
We have special cores for air flow in charged engines. These cores have longer and higher fins and fewer break-up zones (more surface) than the traditional cores for liquid applications. Normally, a package of 2-4 cores is needed to meet specifications. Cores used are ø39.5 and ø45 mm.
Laminova coolers are small, compact and circular. The compact core design makes it easy to install in the inlet manifold.
