Abstract
A work machine having an air-breathing, fuel-consuming, liquid-cooled internal combustion (IC) engine and a turbocharger receiving combustion products from the IC engine and a compressor for pressurizing air to the IC engine. A primary heat exchanger is in fluid flow connection between the compressor and the IC engine and a secondary heat exchanger is in fluid flow connection between the compressor and the IC engine and is upstream of the primary heat exchanger. The secondary heat exchanger is an air-to-liquid heat exchanger and receives liquid coolant from the IC engine.
