MEZZO TECHNOLOGIES
Mezzo also designs and manufactures water-to-air intercooler systems for high-performance turbocharged engines. Normally, Mezzo designs the air-to-water intercooler and water-to-air intercooler radiator as an optimized package. The benefits of using a setup like this include packaging benefits (i.e. flexible placement of components and less restriction of charge air flow), as well as direct performance benefits. The following comparison shows performance of a Mezzo water/air intercooler system used to replace an air/air intercooler for a winning team in a top-tier racing series. The Mezzo intercooler system matches total wet weight and charge-air pressure drop of the original air/air intercooler, and gives greatly improved performance at the design condition of 1.5 bar gauge of boost (bringing charge air temperatures up to 150°C) and 35°C ambient air temperatures. For a comparison between the Mezzo microtube intercooler system and the competing air/air intercooler, see the plots below. The first plot shows the difference between intake air temperature (IAT) and ambient temperature, for several cooling air flow rates. Clearly, if the cooling air flow rates are unchanged between the air/air intercooler and Mezzo intercooler system, the IAT can be lowered to 8.8°C above ambient instead of the original 15.5°C. That said, if the cooling air ducting is relatively unobstructed, the actual air flow rates will be notably greater, even further decreasing IAT as shown in the plot below. The second plot shows that because the Mezzo intercooler solution has a very low cooling air pressure drop, it is theoretically possible, in an unobstructed duct, to achieve increased flow such that the charge air is dropped to merely 4°C above ambient. In Mezzo's experience with high-performance racing, it is typical to see increases on the order of 1 horsepower/°C lower of IAT. This means that the drop in IAT here could represent a power increase on the order of 5-10 HP. Our customers require very high performance. We take great pride in designing, fabricating, and delivering products that meet your specifications on schedule and on budget. We are motivated by new, challenging projects and have both the engineering and manufacturing capabilities needed to complete the entire engineering process from concept to finished product.
