Memorandum
The purpose of this memo is to convey my research proposal to fulfill my Middler Year Writing Requirement. This memo will explain how the Hybrid Intercooler works, why it should be used on vehicles today, and the future goals of the project. Also included will be an explanation of who the audience is and why they are the ones chosen for this report to be sent to.The world of engineering today is constantly searching for new products to increase the efficiency of vehicles. Over the next few years we will see an incredible growth in products such as fuel cells and changes in aerodynamics to help raise the efficiency and performance of vehicles. For these reasons I began to study where there are current systems on vehicles that can be modified to increase performance. Through a detailed study I have found that there can be incredible horsepower and efficiency increases by modifying the method that intake chamber air is cooled and used for combustion. The problem with proposing a new system to modify intake air is that air to air intercoolers, or nitrous oxide systems and other similar performance products have already been made and nearly perfected. For this reason I have come up with a new way to saf
To create an intercooler that would replace the existing product and be competitive in price and performance, the output requires an incredible amount of feasibility analysis and design. The whole idea is derived from the knowledge of the current size of the air conditioning unit within a vehicle. I am sure you know that with the activation of every vehicles air conditioning (A/C) unit there is an immediate horsepower decrease as well as a drop in the efficiency. This is due to the belt of the A/C compressor that is attached to the engine of the vehicle. When the pump is activated the belt that is attached to the engine creates a drag on the engine because it is required to power a unit besides the drive shaft, the alternator, etc. This drag is takes away from horsepower that could be going to the drive shaft, and it forces the engine to induct more fuel thereby dropping efficiency so as to maintain idle stability and other essential driving necessities. These are all necessary systems if a driver wants to be comfortable and have the luxury of temperature control within their vehicle. Some people today will remove the A/C system so as to have a higher power output and have a higher efficiency. I have found a way to increase the power using these same systems and make it so the passengers can still have a climate-controlled vehicle. By splicing in and using the existing coolant system to cool the intake chamber air, I found that I could not only remove the loss of horsepower, but also make more horsepower. Before describing how this is done I should explain one other thing. Competing with an industry as large as the automotive industry is a job t
