IHI TRE90 Intercooler

1. Product Overview: Core Cooling Component for Turbocharged Systems

The IHI TRE90 Intercooler is a precision-engineered intermediate cooling device designed for high-performance air compressors and turbocharging systems. As part of the heat exchange equipment category, its primary function involves forced air/liquid cooling of high-temperature compressed gases (120°C→60°C) to increase air density and combustion efficiency.

Structural Components:

• Heat Exchange Core: 0.1mm corrugated aluminum foil + 0.3mm baffle plates creating 12m² total surface area
• Fluid Distributor: Dual-channel design for counterflow heat exchange paths
• Sealing System: O-ring + laser welding with 3.5MPa pressure capacity
• Connection Ports: DN80 flanges with quick-disconnect clamps
