Supercooler
utilizes three primary components:
1.
ThermalJacket - a special water jacket
to surround the
accumulator and extract the
latent cooling potential
2. ColdPump
- a continuous-duty pump,
designed for long life to
circulate our Supercooler
arctic liquid solution
3. IceBox - a
chill delivery device,
custom-designed to transfer
refrigeration from the arctic
liquid solution to the intake air.
The result is
effective air cooling delivery with
minimum energy invested. See
the animated video to the right.

Cooling
intake air
increases horsepower and fuel efficiency,
while reducing greenhouse gases.
It is a fact that
cooler air is denser
than hot air
and cooler air contains
a greater oxygen
concentration. For
example, small plane
pilots know
that
they require
additional runway on
hot days to take
off. Motorists see
better gas mileage
on cooler, rainy
days. Drag racers
cool their fuel
lines with dry ice. Some race
cars use nitrogen to
cool their engine
air. (These
racers have
discovered that
using air cooler
than ambient
temperature gives
them more power and
fuel efficiency.) All this
evidence
leads to
the conclusion that
proper intake air
temperature produces
increased engine
horsepower and fuel
efficiency.
Better fuel
efficiency results
in less hydrocarbons
released into the
atmosphere.
GREEN TECHNOLOGY
CAPTURES WASTED
THERMAL ENERGY
On warm days
the ambient
temperature under
your hood can easily
exceed 140°F, and
intake air can
approach that
temperature.
Our patented
SUPERCOOLER systems
mitigate this intake
heat by recovering
energy normally lost
from the air
conditioning system.
This thermal energy
is redirected
to cool the engine
intake air below
ambient temperature
just like the racers
do – without the
bother and cost of
dry ice or nitrogen.
The system
recycles
wasted refrigeration
from your vehicle's
air conditioner, yet
does not harm any
existing engine or
A/C components.
SUPERCOOLER works
when your air
conditioner works.
An added benefit is
that your A/C works
more efficiently
with SUPERCOOLER.
Air is cooled
without additives,
flammable liquids,
gases or foreign
elements introduced
into the engine.
The SUPERCOOLER
system installs in
front of the
vehicle's computer
sensors, so that the
computer can adjust
to the proper
fuel-air mixture.
GETTING MORE OUT OF
YOUR AUTO AIR
CONDITIONER
|
SUPERCOOLER's patented
Polar Wind systems
generate
refrigerated air that replaces
normally hot ambient air, significantly
reducing the temperature of the
fuel/air mix to the fuel injectors or carburetor.
How does SUPERCOOLER do this?
Most vehicle air
conditioners use a
container called an
accumulator which is
in the low pressure A/C line. This
device looks like an
aluminum bottle,
often mounted on the
firewall. The
purpose of this
device is to trap
any liquid or
impurities in the
A/C lines. See
the image at right.
The accumulator
gets cold and
provides excess
thermal energy.
(The “sweat” you see
on the accumulator, that
drips on the ground in a
puddle, is the result of
excess thermal energy
that is wasted.) Have you noticed
that puddle under
your engine after
stopping?
That's a splash of
cold water.
You notice the same
thing riding a
motorcycle behind a
car or truck in the
summer, in the form
of mist on your
visor. This
results in a wasted
resource and less
efficient A/C. |

Typical
Accumulator |
ThermalJacket:
SUPERCOOLER recycles
this wasted source of thermal energy; using
a custom-designed "ThermalJacket"
which surrounds the accumulator.
The ThermalJacket captures the excess
cold and provides a cold liquid
source to the pump (see the upper
photo on the left).
ColdPump:
We researched and
tested a number of pump models
before selecting a high quality,
continuous duty pump with just the
right flow rate for our needs (see
middle photo on the left).
The heavy duty pump
circulates SUPERCOOLER coolant
through our own closed-circuit
system to the "IceBox".
IceBox:
The coolant flows
through our specially tailored SUPERCOOLER
chill delivery device,
supplying refrigerated air to the
engine. The icebox typically
fits inside the
vehicle's airbox. Our custom
designed external icebox (bottom
photo on the left) was created for
certain vehicles without space in
the airbox. This external
icebox is also utilized for turbo
diesel engines which require a a
heavy duty air delivery system.
Liquid Coolant:
The
combination of these components,
plus our specially brewed cold
"arctic liquid solution", delivers
the colder, more oxygen rich air to
the engine's combustion chamber.
