WCAC
Compact water-cooled charge air cooling
Our Water-cooled Charge Air Cooler (WCAC) is a combination unit that uses water or glycol to remove heat from the charge air instead of relying on airflow. This allows for a more compact design without sacrificing efficiency.
With proven performance in demanding applications such as gen-sets, marine engines and large diesel engines, WCAC can be integrated into a variety of cooling systems, including indirect and direct cooling systems, retarder systems and heating systems.
Mounted directly on the engine and using water or glycol as the cooling medium, WCAC delivers instant cooling that enables its primary benefits.
