    Averia Intercooler

    The document discusses charge air cooler (CAC) leaks in diesel engines. It explains that the CAC reduces air temperature before entering the engine to improve performance. Leaks can cause issues like low power and excess smoke. The CAC and ductwork must be inspected regularly per the maintenance schedule to check for broken hoses, loose clamps, and other issues. Large leaks may be visible but small leaks require a pressure test to find. Customers with questions should contact the support center.

    SUBJECT: Charge Air Cooler Leaks

    The Charge Air Cooler (CAC) is part of a highly developed air intake system that is used to
    reduce the temperature of the compressed air leaving the turbocharger before it reaches the
    intake manifold. This permits a more dense charge of air to be delivered to the engine, resulting
    in improved engine performance, fuel economy, and lower emissions. Ductwork is used to
    transfer the air from the turbocharger outlet to the CAC, and then to the intake manifold. Flexible
    rubber couplings and hose clamps are used to secure the ductwork to the turbocharger, the CAC
    inlet and outlet, and the intake manifold. Proper inspection and maintenance of the components
    is required to insure continued efficiency of the CAC.

    Leaks in the air-to-air cooling system result in a loss of boost pressure than can cause low
    power, excessive smoke, high exhaust temperatures, and elevated oil soot levels. Recently,
    several extreme cases have been noted where high exhaust temperatures have warped the
    turbocharger mounting flange (requiring replacement of the turbocharger), and high soot levels
    caused serious lubrication oil degradation and subsequent damage to the engine.

    The CAC system MUST be routinely inspected for broken hoses, loose clamps and dirty,
    obstructed, or failed coolers. For on-highway vehicles, the Series 60 Operator’s Guide (6SE484)
    states that the CAC must be inspected every 30,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first,
    and the ductwork be inspected every 15,000 miles or 6 months. Damage to any of these
    components requires immediate repairs. Large CAC leaks can possibly be found visually, while
    small leaks will have to be found using a pressure loss leak test. The Series 60 Service Manual
    (6SE483) contains information on how to pressurize the CAC system to check for leaks. SIB
    #12-60-03 published June 17, 2003, also contains this information. See Figures 1 and 2 for
    examples of leaking Series 60 charge air coolers.
