The present disclosure provides a hybrid intercooler system integrated with an air conditioning system and a method of controlling the same. In accordance with the present disclosure, it is possible to stabilize the temperature of intake air passing through the inlet of an intercooler using a water cooling unit and increase the cooling efficiency of the intercooler using an air cooling unit. Consequently, it is possible to improve engine power and fuel efficiency.

A radiator-intercooler integrated module and a vehicle including the same are provided. The radiator-intercooler integrated module includes a low-temperature radiator and a water cooled intercooler of the vehicle which are integrated into a single body.

A regasification apparatus includes a closed loop heat transfer fluid circulation assembly, for the storage of the cold energy extracted from fuel during its regasification, and provides: a first tank, for containing at ambient temperature the heat transfer fluid, and an insulated second tank where the latter is kept cold; a fluid/fluid heat exchanger, defining the heating means, in which the fluid, coming out of the first tank, is placed in heat transfer with the cold branch of the pipe and therefore cooled, then stored in the second tank. From the latter departs at least one insulated branch, to supply with cold fluid at least one utility present in the aforementioned vehicle, for example an air/fluid heat exchanger located downstream an intercooler of the engine. By means of a pipe, the heat transfer fluid, heated back to ambient temperature, returns to the first tank.

The engine includes a cylinder head provided over a cylinder row, an intercooler provided on one end side of the cylinder head in a row direction of the cylinder row, an air supply manifold to introduce air from the intercooler to the cylinder head, and a cooling piping connected to the intercooler, where the cylinder head, air supply manifold, and cooling piping are arranged in a width direction intersecting the row direction of the cylinder row in stated order of the cylinder head, air supply manifold, and cooling piping, and in a cross section of the air supply manifold taken along a line intersecting the row direction, a length along the width direction is shorter than a length along a direction intersecting both the row direction and the width direction.

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system provided herein utilizes a crossover (X) valve that is selectively activated at the direction of the electronic control module (ECM) to mix the high temperature (HT) and low temperature (LT) circuits of the EGR system under certain predetermined operating conditions. Thus, HT circuit fluid (at engine temperatures) is selectively fed into the LT circuit fluid (at ambient temperatures) to heat certain LT circuit components that are normally cooled by the LT circuit before starting the low pressure (LP) EGR in certain cold cycles. When this heating is finished, the X valve is closed to provide normal HT circuit/LT circuit fluid separation. The X valve can be controlled using a rotational actuator or the like. To avoid exposing the LT circuit to the high revolution-per-minute (RPM) operating conditions of the HT circuit, a HT bypass mechanism is provided.
