Abstract
A cooling system for a charge air combustion engine comprising series-mounted heat exchangers for two stage cooling of charge air supplied to the engine. A first stage charge air cooler heat exchanger is coupled into an engine-radiator liquid cooling system in series with the radiator and in parallel with the engine for passage of a portion of the liquid coolant at a first temperature level for first stage cooling of the charge air. A second charge air cooler heat exchanger is supplied with liquid coolant at a second, relatively lower temperature level for second stage cooling of the charge air.
