In the Lightning world, there is a product called the Killer Chiller which does the same thing. It actually does away with the heat-exchanger under the bumper in it's entirety and uses the ac system to cool the incoming air. It's great for drive-ability, but BAD for using the ac in the cabin. It's also a major PITA to install. I've passed on it and never intend to use it. But those who do have it say their intake temperatures are winter like all year long.OK, here I go.
The article PJ412 posted shared that in the Dodge Demon, when cool AC air was diverted from the cabin to the inter cooler performance was enhanced but, AC air to the cabin is non-existent when diverted. What if, just saying, a setup allowed ‘shared’ use of the AC air in our Rangers? A switch would allow full cabin AC, shared cabin AC and intake AC, or full intake AC. This is damn near genius!! Imagine the year round performance enhancement with cold air ON DEMAND!!
OK PJ412, your mission, if you choose to accept it (notice the Mission Impossible reference, LOL), is to design this system and post your final product. High amp alternator, e-fan, baffles similar to a home AC system that allows one system to independently cool two separate floors via separate thermostats (I put this system in some of the houses I remodel), etc? Why not the same for cars/trucks? When it hits the aftermarket as a ‘bolt on’ or ‘clamp on’ I only want 10% of the gross (before expenses) of the patent licensing or production, from whomever develops it. This could be aftermarket and become an option or standard on new vehicles (same 10% applies).
Groundbreaking!!
