Abstract
A method of controlling a hybrid intercooler system integrated with an air conditioning system includes: starting operation of the air conditioning system by opening first and second air conditioning valves and operating a compressor, when an operation signal of the air conditioning system is determined to be applied; measuring a first temperature by measuring a temperature of compressed air at an outlet of the hybrid intercooler system, after the starting operation of the air conditioning system; and starting operation of a first water cooling unit by opening first and second bypass valves, when the measured first temperature exceeds a predetermined first reference temperature. This method stabilizes the temperature of intake air passing through the inlet of an intercooler using a water cooling unit and increases the cooling efficiency of the intercooler using an air cooling unit.
