Abstract:
A charge air cooling system for an internal combustion engine, the enhanced charge air cooling system comprising:a cylinder containing cryogen, a cylinder valve with a handle to release the cryogen, the cryogen contained in the cylinder can be utilized in gas or liquid state, a cryogen delivery hose, a solenoid valve of the â€œnormally closed, energize to openâ€  type, an aerodynamic, hollow heat exchanger that consists of: a cryogen inlet port to receive the cryogen into the heat exchanger, a cryogen outlet port, a heat exchanger body which holds an aerodynamic shape and includes a cryogen circulation chamber which removes heat from the body by circulating the cryogen thus freezing the body, the charge air flowing over the body and heat being removed from the charge air, and optional cryogen vents dispersing cryogen into the charge air flow.
