An intercooler in a car is a crucial component of the engine's forced induction system. Its primary function is to cool down the compressed intake air that has been heated up by the turbocharger or supercharger. The intercooler accomplishes this by dissipating the heat from the pressurized air, resulting in denser and cooler air being delivered to the engine's combustion chamber.

The intercooler operates through a network of tubes and fins that help transfer heat from the intake air to the surrounding atmosphere. As the hot pressurized air passes through the intercooler, it comes into contact with the cooler ambient air, causing the heat to be transferred across the intercooler's surface area. This process significantly reduces the risk of detonation, improves fuel efficiency, and enhances overall engine performance. The intercooler serves as an integral part of the engine cooling system, ensuring the optimal temperature and density of the intake air for better combustion and power output.
