What's a PWR Barrel chargecooler ?

[brian snelling]

look up pwr performance,they are an australian firm make various intercoolers and rads.also make these barrel type chargecoolers,one would fit in the space i have although it might act as a heat sink.they are rather expensive.
thanks brian

Google first hit turns up Thor Racing, one one heck of a price tag.

Ask the vendor for the efficiency graph - I'm yet to see one. Might well be nailed onto the front of a drag racing evo - but doesn't mean its actually any good for the road.
Having done the whole chargecooler thing extensively - I can only say try to run an intercooler if you possibly can, as chargecoolers are a compromise at best.

Dont Pace or any of the usual rad fabricators make them ?

What do you mean by "expensive"?

I got my PWR charge cooler from http://www.chargecooler.co.uk/ - was quite happy for the price, as it fitted in my engine bay easily, and I didn't have to work out how to plumb in an efficient air supply to an intercooler.

I have a pair of charge coolers like theirs but from Lockheed missile department, southern winds etc. Made in Ti I believe. I just hope they work They look the business but are very compact. I hope they were made to a very exacting standard.

Hi Chris,

They're quite small units and are like the PAW items inside in that the have a honeycomb and tubes running lengthwise. Inside each tube there's a small tab to slow down the airflow.






I've no idea if they'll be of any use or not but grabbed them when I found them. Anybody want an unused rocket, less cooling

[chuntington101]

wonder what the hell they hwere used for? lol

might have been to heat up the H or O2 before entering the conbusion chamber??

any idea on flow rate Mike??

I know nothing about them except what's on the label. Fittings are turbo hose size though They're quite short, maybe 10" for the cylinder. I do hope they were designed to meet a 'brief' and didn't fail as most intercoolers on the market aren't tested as such.
