The Charge Air Cooler (CAC) is designed to cool the charge air after being boosted by the Turbocharger. In order to maintain the optimum temperature and to further improve the charge air density entering to the engine the CAC is used. This makes the combustion more efficient and better engine performance and fuel economy. The performance of the CAC is highly affected by the plumbing lines which transport the compressed charge air from turbocharger to the intake manifold of the Engine. It consists of tube, hose, duct and resonator. Designing the optimum CAC plumbing lines with lesser pressure drop is the major requirement of the CAC system considering the complex packaging. In such scenarios, one-dimensional (1D) simulation is a good way to compute the pressure drop for faster and economical solution.
