ABSTRACT:
A highway truck having a mobile frame and an engine compartment having a forward facing air inlet at the front of the frame disposed to receive ram air from the travel of the truck, a radiator mounted on the frame adjacent the air inlet, and a charge air cooler mounted adjacently above the radiator and adjacent the engine compartment air inlet for parallel ambient air flow therethrough. The air manifolds or plenums of the cross flow charge air cooler preferably have vertically centered rearwardly facing openings to eliminate bends in the ducts connecting to the engine while providing an optimum manifold design.
