offset (or staggered) style Explanation: For automotive intercoolers, you will typically see either a plain straight fin or an offset-style fin. These are best explained by images. As you can see, the offset style fin appears to provide far more surface area for air contact. This arrangement will force air to split numerous times on its path through the core, which amplifies the amount of heat exchange that can occur. Along with improving heat transfer, this will also result in greater pressure loss, which is something that you will need to consider. In general, Mishimoto intercoolers utilize an offset fin to enhance the exchange of heat as much as possible. https://engineering.mishimoto.com/2015/04/drop-intake-temper... The ETS GT-R Street Intercooler has interally offset and staggered fins so as charge air passes through the intercooler it's forced to split multiple times which results in cooler intake air temps. http://sdmotorworks.com/product.sc?productId=1751 |
