ABSTRACT:
A system and method for increasing the horsepower and torque provided by an internal combustion engine involve the use of a vortex tube to provide cooled air to the air intake of the engine. The system utilizes a source of compressed air such as provided by a compressor and air tank. The compressed air is injected into the vortex tube producing a heated stream of air and a cooled stream of air. The cooled stream of air is directed into the intake of the engine. The system enhances the air flow and drops the induction air temperature into the engine. An air valve may be used to control the flow of compressed air into the vortex tube.
