Cooling System: Notes

Due to the exhaust turbocharging system and the compact arrangement of the turbochargers in the V-space, the heat output of the N63 engine is very high. Correspondingly, great significance is attached to the cooling system. In addition, an indirect charge air cooling system has been developed for the first time where the charge air is cooled by an air-to-coolant heat exchanger. There are two separate cooling circuits for engine and charge air cooling.
