Monty,
I understand the laws your talking about, but couldn't explain what I had seen, so I thought there must be another contributing factor, just like you say, error etc.
If you think I'm saying an intercooler can cool past its own temp, don't worry, I'm not. It's only a passive cooler and can, as you discribe, only dissapate heat energy from the charge air.
And that is probably the point the Autospeed guy would argue.
The only thing I could think was cause it was a cold day, and this intercooler really is huge, out infront of the bumper, and very unlikely to suffer much heat soak, that the intercooler was below ambient temp before the measurements were taken (ambient measured as temp at the point of air intake compared to the air temp directly after the intercooler). I know the charge air can only go to the same temp (and has to be at absolute peak efficiency to get there) of the intercooler, but if the intercooler is below ambient then its possible.
So I spose I'm actually saying (or what I've witnessed) is that an intercooler can cool past the intake air temp, providing the intercooler's temperature is below that of the air intake.
And I dont believe that bends to many rules of thermodynamics?
Sorry for both the length and the thread hijack guys.
