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.
