Charge Air Cooler Cleaning

Warning

NEVER spray water on a hot heat exchanger. The resulting steam could cause personal injury.

Caution: The heat exchanger fins are necessary for good heat transfer. Do not brush the fins. This may cause damage to the fins, reducing heat transfer.

Note: Remove bugs, leaves, dirt and other debris by blowing compressed air through the engine side of the radiator.

* Some conditions may require the use of warm water and a mild detergent.
* Clean the charge air cooler fins.
* Clean between the charge air cooler and condenser.
* Straighten any damaged cooling fins.
