Abstract: An engine air intake system for a vehicle having an internal combustion engine may include a turbocharger; a CAC heat exchanger having an inlet end for receiving compressed intake air from the turbocharger and an outlet end; a remote condensate reservoir spaced from the CAC heat exchanger, for storing condensate therein; a condensate drain tube extending from the outlet end to the remote condensate reservoir to allow condensate produced in the CAC heat exchanger to flow into the remote condensate reservoir; an air duct connecting the outlet end to the engine to direct air flow from the outlet end to the engine; and a reservoir outlet hose connected to the remote condensate reservoir at a first end and connected to the air duct at a second end to allow condensate evaporating from the remote condensate reservoir to flow through the reservoir outlet hose into the air duct.

Abstract: An intercooler system and method of operation for use with an air charging system for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The intercooler system may comprise an intercooler pump for pumping a coolant through the intercooler system, a first heat exchanger that transfers heat from charged intake air to the coolant, a second heat exchanger that transfers heat from the coolant to outside air, and an intercooler coolant reservoir that contains the coolant therein. Coolant lines direct a flow of the coolant through the intercooler pump, the first heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger and the intercooler coolant reservoir.
