Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011102784A1] The present invention relates to an arrangement for preventing ice formation in a charge air cooler which comprises a radiator portion (3) in which compressed air is cooled by surrounding air which flows through the radiator portion (3). The arrangement comprises a first flow element (7a) which in a closed position is adapted to preventing compressed air from being led through a region (A) of the radiator portion (3), a second flow element (7b) which in a closed position is adapted to preventing compressed air from being led through a second region (B) of the radiator portion (3) which is larger than the first region of the radiator portion (A), and a control unit (10) adapted to receiving information concerning at least one parameter (11, 12, 14) which is related to the risk of ice formation in the charge air cooler, which control unit (10), in cases where said parameter or parameters indicate that there is risk of ice formation in the charge air cooler, is adapted to placing one of the flow elements (7a, 7b) in a closed position so that the compressed air is led through a reduced region (RA, RB) of the radiator portion (3).
