Ko te kaupapa matua o te intercooler he whakamatao i te hau e tomo ana ki te rango i waenganui i te putanga o te turbocharger me te paipa whakauru. He rite te intercooler ki te radiator, he mea whakamatao e te hau, e te wai rānei, ā, ka mawhiti te wera o te hau ki te āhuarangi mā te whakamatao. E ai ki te whakamātautau, mā te mahi pai o te intercooler, ehara i te mea ka taea anake te pupuri i te ōwehenga kōpeketanga o te miihini i tētahi uara me te kore e heke te pāmahana, engari ka taea hoki te whakaiti i te pāmahana te whakanui ake i te pēhanga whakauru, me te whakapai ake i te mana whai hua o te miihini.
Mahi:
1. He tino teitei te pāmahana o te hau putanga mai i te mīhini, ā, mā te kawe wera o te pūwhakakaha ka piki ake te pāmahana o te pū whakauru.
2. Ki te tomo te hau pēhanga kāore i whakamataohia ki roto i te rūma tahunga, ka pā ki te pai o te pupuhi o te miihini, ā, ka puta he parahanga o te hau. Hei whakatau i ngā pānga kino o te wera o te hau pēhanga, me tāuta he whakamatao waenga hei whakaiti i te pāmahana whakauru.
3. Whakaitihia te whakapaunga wahie o te miihini.
4. Whakapai ake i te urutau ki te teitei. I ngā wāhi teitei, mā te whakamahi i te whakamatao ka taea te whakamahi i te ōwehenga pēhanga teitei ake o te compressor, ka nui ake te mana o te miihini, ka pai ake te urutau o te motuka.
5, whakapai ake i te ōrite me te urutau o te supercharger.
