Here at VS, we innovative solutions to enhance the performance of your vehicle. Today, we are excited to introduce the concept of an ice tank and explain how it can significantly improve your vehicle's Intake Air Temperature (IAT).
What is IAT, and why is it important? Intake Air Temperature refers to the temperature of the air entering your vehicle's engine. It plays a crucial role in determining the engine's overall performance and efficiency. When the incoming air is too hot, it can lead to a decrease in power output, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased risk of engine damage.
Enter the ice tank – an ingenious device designed to combat high IAT and optimize your engine's performance. An ice tank is essentially a reservoir that holds a supply of ice or a mixture of ice and water, strategically placed in the air intake system of your vehicle. This placement allows the incoming air to pass over or through the ice, resulting in a significant reduction in its temperature before it reaches the engine.
The benefits of utilizing an ice tank for IAT optimization are numerous. Firstly, by lowering the intake air temperature, the engine is able to generate more power. Cooler air is denser, which means a larger volume of oxygen is available for combustion, leading to increased horsepower and torque output. This improvement can be especially noticeable during hot weather conditions or in high-performance applications.
Secondly, a lower IAT assists in preventing detonation or knocking, a harmful phenomenon caused by excessively high temperatures and pressures within the combustion chamber. Detonation can result in engine damage, reduced longevity, and compromised reliability. By effectively cooling the intake air, the ice tank minimizes the risk of detonation, providing a safer operating environment for your engine.
Furthermore, improved IAT through an ice tank contributes to enhanced fuel efficiency. Colder air allows for better combustion control, ensuring a more complete burn of the air-fuel mixture. This optimized combustion process leads to reduced fuel consumption, saving you money at the pump while reducing your carbon footprint.
In conclusion, an ice tank serves as an invaluable tool for improving Intake Air Temperature and consequently enhancing your vehicle's performance. By lowering the temperature of the incoming air, an ice tank increases horsepower, prevents detonation, and improves fuel efficiency. Whether you're a racing enthusiast looking for that extra edge on the track or a daily driver seeking optimal engine performance, consider integrating an ice tank into your vehicle's air intake system for a cooler, more efficient ride.
What is Included?
- Ice Tank
-Water Pump
-Plug-n-Play Lines
-Plug-n-Play Fittings
-Wire Harness
-Hardware
-Drain System
Tested and fitted on many different cars. Works with full interior, cutting and trimming is required to route lines and fittings. Gutted cars don't need any trimming.
Keep in mind, this is designed for track cars. Ice melts quickly. You drain the tank a little, fill up with 4 bags of ice, do your hit and repeat.
