CAC320 Air Charge Cooler for Kenworth and Peterbilt Trucks

The CAC320 air charge cooler (also known as a charge air cooler or intercooler) is designed for compatible Kenworth and Peterbilt heavy-duty truck applications. It reduces compressed intake air temperatures from the turbocharger before air enters the engine, helping maintain efficient airflow, combustion performance, and reliable engine operation.

Heavy-duty trucks rely on properly functioning charge air cooling systems to maintain consistent power and performance during commercial operation. A damaged or leaking air charge cooler can reduce boost efficiency, increase intake temperatures, and negatively affect overall engine reliability.
