Re: Refrigerator like Intercooler?
Refrigerating the incoming air would consume more power than the extra power produced by the engine, so that would not be practical.
However, drag racers and top- speed racers regularly use ice to chill intake manifolds and/or incoming air. Inevitably, their runs last from a few seconds to a few minutes, so ice will provide a benefit before it melts (without the drag of an AC compressor.
