Rivals teams in F1<\/strong><\/a> are moving forward some doubts about the legality of the cooling system<\/strong> in the Ferrari<\/a> power unit<\/strong>. That\u2019s what this interesting article<\/a> I found online is talking about. These are just hypothesis, nothing has been proved, but the presumed anomaly should refer to the employ of oil within the intercooler<\/strong> which cools down the intake air coming from the turbocharger<\/strong> and aimed to increase the output of the internal combustion engine.<\/p>\n

\"Ferrari<\/a><\/p>\n

An intercooler<\/strong> is a heat exchanger<\/strong><\/a>, usually air\/water or air\/air type, installed between the turbocharger and the combustion engine. Its function is to cool intake air charge<\/strong>, increasing the efficiency of the combustion. The turbocharger compresses the induction air employed in internal combustion engines<\/a> to improve their volumetric efficiency. As a result, the compression process raises intake air temperature<\/strong> while reducing its density. The intercooler removes the heat of compression decreasing intake air charge temperature, sustaining the use of a more dense intake charge into the engine, increasing the output of the power unit<\/a>. In addition, the lowering of intake charge air temperature<\/strong> also avoids the danger of pre-detonation.<\/p>\n

\"intercooler<\/a><\/p>\n

The cooling circuit of an intercooler<\/strong> is composed by a quantity of tubes, a grid of micro-channels<\/strong> in this case, where a fluid flows, usually water. As it happens in every heat exchanger, the intake air charge flows within the grid giving up its waste heat to the fluid<\/strong>, cooling itself.<\/p>\n

\"intercooler<\/a><\/p>\n

Rival teams of the Ferrari are supposing that the intercooler of the Ferrari could be employing oil to achieve the cooling of the intake air charge<\/strong>. The use of oil is not prohibited, unless it evaporates leading to a contamination of the intake air charge<\/strong> directed to the power unit. The insertion of oil in the combustion engine boosts the performances of the combustion process, a practice that has been forbidden by the FIA technical regulations.<\/p>\n
