Intercooler System

Intercooler System

To assist in the operation of the intercooler, a water spray can be enabled and setup to spray water onto the intercooler when conditions are met. Intercooler spray can also be enabled and disabled by the setup of a switch input (Auto or Manual) and can also activate an indicator light if available. An intercooler fan can be configured based on intake air temperature.
