Abstract
Provided are a control method for an air intake intercooler of an engine and a control system thereof, which relates to the technical field of intercoolers. The air intake intercooler includes a primary thermal management unit that can heat and cool intake air. The control method for the air intake intercooler includes acquiring real-time air intake temperature of an air inlet of the intake intercooler; controlling the primary thermal management unit to turn on a heating mode in response to the real-time air intake temperature being lower than a set minimum temperature limit value; and controlling the primary thermal management unit to turn on a cooling mode in response to the real-time air intake temperature being higher than the set maximum temperature limit.
