An intercooler cooling apparatus is provided. The apparatus cools an intercooler installed between a compressor of a turbocharger and an engine to adjust an oil temperature. The apparatus includes a water tank that surrounds a part of an outer side of the intercooler, in which cooling water discharged from the engine flows into a first side to exchange heat with the intercooler and the cooling water is discharged through a second side. An ATF warmer is also installed in the water tank, in which oil of a transmission is circulated.

An exhaust gas recirculation system includes an intake manifold, an exhaust manifold, an EGR cooler, an EGR exhaust conduit and an EGR intake conduit having a diffuser. The intake manifold and the exhaust manifold are affixed to an engine head. The intake and exhaust manifolds are each in fluid communication with a plurality of combustion chambers defined by the engine head and an engine block. The EGR cooler includes a EGR cooler inlet and a EGR cooler outlet wherein the EGR exhaust conduit fluidly couples the exhaust manifold to the EGR cooler inlet. The EGR intake conduit includes a first end and a second end wherein the first end is affixed to the EGR cooler outlet and the second end is affixed to an intake passageway for the intake manifold. The diffuser includes a plurality of fins affixed to the second end and extending into the intake passageway.

An intercooler assembly for a vehicle includes an intercooler, and a duct connected to a front side of the intercooler and guiding outside air to the intercooler. The duct is in surface-contact with an outer surface of the intercooler, at which the air flowing into the duct flows out to the intercooler.

A heat exchanger may include a heat exchanger block and a diffusor connected thereto. At least one connecting pin may be integrally molded to a surface of the heat exchanger block. At least one passage opening, through which the at least one connecting pin may engage when the heat exchanger is mounted, may be arranged on the diffusor. The at least one connecting pin may have a widened head via which the diffusor may be secured to the heat exchanger block.

A vehicular heat management system includes a heat medium circuit, a heat source portion, and a device. A heat medium cooling an engine circulates in the heat medium circuit. The heat source portion heats the heat medium. The device is configured to function and heat the heat medium when the heat medium flowing into the device is at or above a predetermined temperature. When the engine is being warmed up, heat generated by the heat source portion is supplied to the device in preference to the engine. According to this, since the heat generated by the heat source portion is supplied to the device in preference to the engine when the engine is being warmed up, the engine can be warmed up early.

An apparatus is provided for an intercooler to maximize air flow to a turbocharger. The intercooler comprises an intercooler core comprising an alternating arrangement of air flow passageways and charge flow passageways. The air flow passageways receive an ambient air flow and the charge flow passageways receive a charge flow, such that heat is transferred from the charge flow to the ambient air flow and removed from the intercooler. A first end tank sealed to a hot side of the intercooler core conducts the charge flow received at a hot fluid inlet to the intercooler core. A second end tank sealed to a cool side of the intercooler core conducts the charge flow from the intercooler core to a cool fluid outlet. A multiplicity of partitions disposed on the hot and cool sides of the intercooler core are configured to promote a laminar flow through the charge flow passageways.
