propane evaporator/intercooler
(OP)
hi new to this site, I like running propane but i dont like wasting all that energy -latent heat cooling my coolant.I,m dreaming of using an auto A/C evaporator coil or something like that instead of a vaporizor. mount it in the air inlet behind the filter,give it a condensate drain tube like an A/C box and chill my inlet air.i think i could build it but not sure how big it would need to be.The coldest temp.i start at is just below freezing. is this possible ? been done ? THANKS

If you understand French you can read here what people have to say about it:

Forget the intercooler, you need a very fine temperature control to avoid ice on it....

I am still driving a 1996 Dodge dakota with the same system used in the vans and it is showing no signs of deterioration. But the walbro pumps are way inadequate and the screens loadup sometimes.
0-60 against an identical gasoline dakota with same rear end etc and its no contest even with the vans heavier conformable fuel tank strapped into the bed.

Do you mean inject liquid propane into the intake or into the cylinder? If you mean the cylinder, how would I go about doing that? I currently use a vaporizer/regulator to let the engine suck the fuel in between the air cleaner and the turbo.

Port injected liquid LP is old news.. Workd like a charm. Here is some good reading.
