Abstract

A water-cooled intercooler system using an air conditioning system, may include a water-cooled intercooler for cooling intake air compressed in a turbocharger by cooling water, a water pump for supplying the cooling water to the water-cooled intercooler, and a radiator of the water-cooled intercooler for cooling the cooling water by traveling wind or fan wind, wherein the intercooler system may include a bypass line allowing a condenser of the air conditioning system and a compressor of the air conditioning system to fluidly communicate with each other and passing through the interior of a surge tank of the radiator of the water-cooled intercooler.

Claims (11)

1. A water-cooled intercooler system using an air conditioning system, the water-cooled intercooler system comprising:

a water-cooled intercooler for cooling intake air compressed in a turbocharger by cooling water;

a water pump supplying the cooling water to the water-cooled intercooler;

a radiator fluidically communicating with the water-cooled intercooler and cooling the cooling water by traveling wind or fan wind to the radiator;

a bypass line fluidically connecting a condenser of the air conditioning system and a compressor of the air conditioning system and mounted to pass through an interior of a surge tank of the radiator.

2. The water-cooled intercooler system of claim 1 , further comprising a first valve mounted in the bypass line and selectively opening or closing the bypass line by a controller.

3. The water-cooled intercooler system of claim 1 , further comprising an expansion line fluidically connecting the condenser of the air conditioning system and an expansion valve.

4. The water-cooled intercooler system of claim 3 , further comprising a second valve mounted in the expansion line and selectively opening or closing the expansion line by a controller.

5. The water-cooled intercooler system of claim 3 , further comprising an evaporation line fluidically connecting the expansion valve and a heat core.

6. The water-cooled intercooler system of claim 5 , further comprising a compression line fluidically connecting the heat core and the compressor of the air conditioning system.

7. The water-cooled intercooler system of claim 6 , further comprising a condensation line fluidically connecting the compressor of the air conditioning system and the condenser of the air conditioning system.
