the turbocharger is directed through the charge air cooler before it goes to the air inlet side of the

intake manifold. A typical arrangement with a CAC placed in front of the radiator with a suction

fan. With a blower fan, t he CAC would be between the radiator and the e n

gine.

Figure 8-12 Typical Charge Air Cooler

The CAC is used to reduce the compressed air temperature leaving the turbocharger before it

reaches the intake manifold. This permits a more dense charge of air to be delivered to the engine.
