Abstract: A chiller system includes an intercooler configured to cool compressed charge air received from a charger, a low temperature cooling circuit fluidly coupled to the intercooler, and an air conditioner circuit circulating a refrigerant and having a primary circuit and a bypass circuit. The primary circuit includes a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator. The bypass circuit includes a conduit that bypasses the evaporator, and a chiller shut off valve is configured to selectively prevent refrigerant from flowing through the bypass circuit. A chiller is thermally coupled to the low temperature cooling circuit and the bypass circuit. A controller is in signal communication with the chiller shut off valve. The controller is programmed to, upon receiving a signal indicating a driver has manually selected the vehicle to operate in a racing mode, open the chiller shut off valve to provide increased cooling to the intercooler and the compressed charge air.

Abstract: A chiller system includes an intercooler configured to cool compressed charge air received from a turbocharger or a supercharger; a low temperature cooling circuit fluidly coupled to the intercooler, the low temperature cooling circuit circulating a coolant to provide cooling to the intercooler and including a low temperature radiator configured to cool the first coolant; and an air conditioner circuit circulating a refrigerant and having a primary circuit and an evaporator bypass circuit. A chiller is thermally coupled to the low temperature cooling circuit and the bypass circuit. A chiller shut off valve is configured to be controlled to be selectively opened to provide refrigerant to the chiller to further cool the coolant in the low temperature cooling circuit after the coolant is cooled by the low temperature radiator, thereby providing increased cooling to the intercooler and the compressed charge air to increase engine performance.
