Abstract (en)

A supercharged air cooling unit comprises: an air supply conduit for allowing supercharged air being supplied from a supercharger to an engine to flow therethrough; an energy recovery device including a first cooling section for allowing working fluid to be subjected to heat exchange with the supercharged air flowing through the air supply conduit to pass therethrough, an expander for receiving the working fluid vaporized in the first cooling section and flowing therefrom, and a power obtaining section for obtaining a power generated by the expander; a cooling device including a second cooling section for allowing cooling medium to be subjected to heat exchange with the supercharged air flowing through the air supply conduit to pass therethrough; and a single casing accommodating the air supply conduit, the first cooling section, and the second cooling section. The air supply conduit, the first cooling section, the second cooling section, and the casing constitute a cooler.
