Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for de-icing a charge-air cooler of a boosted engine system when the engine is turned off. In one example, a method may include recirculating air through a bypass passage including an activated electric supercharger and the CAC. The air is warmed by compression and thaws ice accumulated in the CAC.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein a bypass line in the air intake has a first junction that branches off an intake system of the engine downstream of the charge-air cooler and a second junction branching off the intake system upstream of an electrically driveable compressor of the supercharger and downstream of an exhaust gas turbocharger compressor so that air is recirculated through the electrically driveable compressor and the charge-air cooler concurrently via the operation of the electric supercharger during shut-down engine conditions.
