Aftercooler in diesel generator?
An after cooler is use on an diesel generator to provide additional cooling and allow for prolonged operation. It also extends the life of many components.
Why is after cooler is used in diesel engines?
An time air is compressed it heats up,cooler air makes more power. An intercooler/aftercooler reduces the heat build up.
Where is the EGR valve on a 6.0 diesel on a 2003 Ford F-250?
it is on the top front of the intake, to the right of the alternator, between the oil filter on the aftercooler elbow, 2 8mm bolts in it one on each side.

What is the difference between and aftercooler and intercooler?
In common usage, particularly in reference to turbocharged automobile engine, there is effectively no difference. "Intercooler" is the original (English) term, used to refer to an air cooling device interposed between a turbocharger (or supercharger) and the engine's air intake manifold. They can be air-to-air, or air-to-water, and are in reality, just heat exchangers.However, with further developments in forced air intake systems, the formal meaning of "intercooler" has changed to mean a cooling stage interposed between successive "heating" stages, such as in an engine with series connected turbochargers. An "Aftercooler" is therefore the last cooling stage before the engine. Thus, aftercooler is probably now more correct in most cases, where only a single turbocharger or supercharger is present.Both terms are also covered by the term "Charge Air Cooler" which could be used in all cases without risk of being incorrect!
What is the horsepower rating of a 3306 engine?
Depends on the set up. Is it a Naturally aspirated or turbo, or turbo with an aftercooler? And is it a Direct injection model, or a Natural Gas generator engine? In general the 3306 has as little as 95HP ( Nat Gas Gen Set), or as much as 350 ( Direct injection Turbo aftercooled).
How many air cycles needed for the air compressor room ventilation?
I think it will be suitable if it was in the range of 15-20 Air changes per hour But it depends on two important factors the temperature difference also the thing is the type of cooler also the compressor will be supplied with aftercooler or not to satisfy the design requirements
What does the stages in a supercharger mean?
A single-stage supercharger has one impeller. Sometimes it has two gears and is called a 2-speed supercharger. When the aircraft has climbed until the throttle is at full and the manifold pressure beguins to drop, the pilot throttles back and changes the impeller to high gear (spins the impeller faster). Another method is to run two impellers, one usually smaller than the other. The first one is the low-pressure impeller and it feeds the second one, called the high-pressure impeller. Sometimes the two impellers have 2-speeds (low and high). When air is compressed, it gets hotter. If there is a cooler (heat exchanger)between the first and second impeller, it is called an intercooler because it is between the stages. If there is a cooler after the second stage, it is called an aftercooler because it is after the boost stage and before the induction system which routes the compressed air-gas mixture to the cylinders.
