Will dirty intercooler affect engine power?

Dirty intercooler will affect engine power.

It has a certain impact on the engine. The intercooler is broken, usually it leaks air. Power drops, fuel consumption rises, and black smoke is emitted. If the supercharger does not work, it will cause oil leakage at the compressor end of the supercharger. In fact, the supercharger is not damaged. If the intercooler leaks seriously, sand particles may be inhaled to accelerate cylinder wear. The exhaust temperature rises slightly. It will cause incomplete combustion and produce a large amount of carbon deposit in the valve and cylinder head for a long time.

An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (gasoline engines, etc. ), external combustion engine (Stirling engine, steam engine, etc. ), motor, etc.
