ABSTRACT:
A combustion engine intake air cooler system is disclosed that utilizes the vehicle air conditioning system to chill the engine intake air supply by conducting latent heat from the intake air passing through the intake air ducts using an external tubular induction coil in contact with and surrounding the air intake duct and connected to the vehicle air conditioning refrigeration system. Other embodiments include a refrigeration conduction coil located within a sealed and insulated, carburetor air breather and a refrigeration conduction coil in contact with the engine fuel line. An on board refrigerator using dry ice is also disclosed as a refrigeration system for the conduction coils when no vehicle air conditioning system is available. An intake air temperature sensing and control system is also provided.
