COOLER IDEAS!!!
for Supercharged Performance
  LAMINAR FLOW INTERCOOLERS The patented design can best be described as an almost infinite number of interconnected laminar flow cooling fins. Laminova heat exchangers are compact, easy to install and more efficient than conventional coolers. With a Laminova heat exchanger, you get maximum heat transfer with low pressure drop, something not available until now. This efficiency is achieved by continuously restarting the flow passage after an optimal flow length.  INTERCOOLER integration Best results are achieved when the heat exchanger is installedin the inlet manifold. This improves response compared to traditional air-to-air intercooler installations due to sshorter flow length. In most instances a package of 2 - 4 cores is needed to meet specifications. Seperate cooling circuit The air-to-liquid intercooler system needs a seperate cooling circuit with a circulation pump and seperate radiator. The Laminova intercooler can be combined with air conditioning system for even better efficiency. |
 Laminar Flow offers amazing heat transfer with minimal pressure drop. Laminova heat exchanger systems have a unique designed core for intercooler applications. Improved torque, engine response and performance can be achieved compared to conventional coolers. Effectively increasing engine efficiency and improving fuel economy. High Performance The high performance of the laminar flow intercooler is a result of extremely large surface area and uniqueflow pattern. The air-to-liquid system improves efficiency right from the start and just keeps on going. Environmental Benefits The intercooler can reduce hazardous emissions of nitrogen due to improved air distribution and balanced engine temperature. Laminova eradicates the traditional problem of poor heat transfer from short flow length due to boundary layer build-up. Addressing concerns associated with Supercharger applications: 1. Pulsations The laminova core has a high resistance to air pulsation fatigue due to circular design and the elimination of soldered and welded joints. Assembled using flexible O-ring joint design. 2. Noise The laminova tight finned core surface area cancels the transmission of noise waves. Rules of thumb Intake air temp. reduction of .5°C (6°F) increases air density by 1% Every 4°C (20°F) reduction in intake air temp. allows .5 psi additional boost with the same octane fuel. |
