Thermoelectric Cooling to make water intercooler cooler

[Scania]

in Drag race, dry ice was always use for turbo car to cool down the intercooler, it can't use in road racing because it done nothing after the ice gone.

there are some semi Semiconductor call Thermoelectric Cooling, or Peltier Cooler, when you give it electric, it have hot side & cool side, the Semiconductor move the heat from heat side to cool side, it can make quite cold but need times. however, we don't need it to freeze point, we just want the coolant cooler, to make the intake air cooler.

Here is my design, could u give me some suggest?




p.s. to make the pic clean, I draw the coolant pie quiet long. in the real case, the Peltier Cooler can put together with the intercooler

Your image isn't working for me, but I have to ask, why thermoelectric cooling? They're very inefficient. That being the case, is the increase in engine power more or less than the extra power needed to operate the cooler?

Agreed, - the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics break-down on this proposal.. ..amounts to?

It'd need to use a waste heat source, how about an adsorption chiller using the exhaust heat?



Or even an absorption chiller?



Admittedly packaging might be a bit tricky.

t is not generator, y should I use waste heat ?
