  • Patent number: 7398770
    Abstract: A dual cold air induction (“DCAI”) system, apparatus and method for decreasing the intake air temperature, which increases the air's volume and efficiency, at the diesel internal combustion engine's point-of-ignition. The DCAI system comprises a dual air cooling unit defined by primary and secondary compartments. The primary compartment ingests ambient air and conditions it to a preset predetermined temperature for mixing with ambient air upstream of the turbocharger's compressor side. The conditioned ambient air, located on the turbocharger's compressor's downstream side, is further conditioned in the secondary compartment to a preset predetermined temperature which is then delivered to the engine intake. The housing, which houses a plurality of air cooling components for producing cold air, has insulative capabilities for maintaining the cold air temperature created within both compartments of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20060272621
    Abstract: A cold air induction system, apparatus and method for effectuating a decrease in the air temperature entering the point of ignition in at least an internal combustion engine to increase the volume and efficiency of the air. The cold air induction system and apparatus comprises a cold air induction device wherein the device ingests ambient air and cools the air to a predetermined preset temperature. The cold air induction apparatus includes at least one housing having insulative capabilities for maintaining the cold air temperature created within the housing, wherein is housed a plurality of air cooling components and conduits for producing a cold air within the housing and distributing the cold air, wherein an expansion valve is provided for regulating the flow of refrigerant into the system. The system supplies the cold air to the throttle body by way of a forced source of cold air via an air cleaner.
