CHARGE AIR COOLING
Description
The Chassis-Mounted Charge Air Cooling
(CMCAC) system cools hot turbocharged air
before it enters the engine intake manifold. The
CMCAC system uses ambient air as a cooling
medium by allowing it to pass through a core
equipped with heat-exchanging fins.
Hot turbocharged air, varying in pressure from
0.0–25 psi (0.0–172 kPa), passes through core
tubes where heat is transferred to the ambient air
by heat-exchanging fins.
Front-section core construction consists of a
series of cold bars, cold fins and tube plates.
Side-section core construction consists of a
series of hot bars and hot fins.

cleaner and turbo.
1. Check for blockage and clean.
2. Dirty turbocharger. 2. Clean turbocharger.
3. Leaks in the pressurized side of the
induction system.
3. Check for and repair leaks.
4. Inlet manifold leak. 4. Check for loose or missing fittings,
plugs, and/or damaged manifold-to-
cylinder head gaskets. Replace missing
parts, and repair loose connections.
5. Open petcock (if equipped). 5. Close petcock.
6. Core leakage. 6. Pressure test core. Remove, repair or
replace core if test results are not
satisfactory.
Low Power 1. Restrictions in cooler. 1. Perform restriction pressure test. Clean
out restriction.
2. Restrictions in cooler inlet and outlet
tubes.
