An engine air intake system for a vehicle having an internal combustion engine may include a turbocharger; a CAC heat exchanger having an inlet end for receiving compressed intake air from the turbocharger and an outlet end; a remote condensate reservoir spaced from the CAC heat exchanger, for storing condensate therein; a condensate drain tube extending from the outlet end to the remote condensate reservoir to allow condensate produced in the CAC heat exchanger to flow into the remote condensate reservoir; an air duct connecting the outlet end to the engine to direct air flow from the outlet end to the engine; and a reservoir outlet hose connected to the remote condensate reservoir at a first end and connected to the air duct at a second end to allow condensate evaporating from the remote condensate reservoir to flow through the reservoir outlet hose into the air duct.

Intercooler having condensate reservoir

An intercooler system and method of operation for use with an air charging system for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The intercooler system may comprise an intercooler pump for pumping a coolant through the intercooler system, a first heat exchanger that transfers heat from charged intake air to the coolant, a second heat exchanger that transfers heat from the coolant to outside air, and an intercooler coolant reservoir that contains the coolant therein. Coolant lines direct a flow of the coolant through the intercooler pump, the first heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger and the intercooler coolant reservoir.
