AIC Technology:
An Active – Intercooler is a mechanical device to cool down fluids and gasses after compression. It is used as air to air and the water cooler for an automobile’s turbocharged and supercharged internal engine combustion. Getting the air temperatures down raises the air density in the combustion chamber, offering the ability to significantly increase engine power output by squeezing air and fuel in the same volume of space.
How does it work?
AIC® intercepts Engine airflow by enhancing thermodynamics on the internal combustion engine and by regulating a lower temperature for the engine, which improves the engine’s thermal efficiency.
This cooling process facilitates effective engine combustion and relieves the engine heat stress.
AIC Technology – works by intercepting the airflow from outside the automobile to the air-inlet engine.
It enhances the air density at constant pressure through cooling. It further improves the efficiency of the induction system by cooling down the air heat from high ambient air temperatures promoting more thorough combustion.
The heat of high ambient air temperatures is removed through this method (i.e., its unit mass per unit volume- density- increased).
The heated ambient air in hot climate countries is inefficient for internal combustion engines, AIC intercepts the heated ambient air and improves its thermal efficiency. Turbocharged forced induction engines equipped with air intercoolers can also play a crucial role in further controlling the internal temperatures in an internal combustion engine, enhancing its power.
With improved thermal efficiency, the engine can reduce fuel consumption from 10-20% while generating more power, contributing to a greener environment and reducing emissions by 50%.

Who can benefit?
Enormous potential to change the Automobile Industry
“Our proven AIC technology can improve fuel efficiency by offering better and cleaner engine combustion, which contributes to a lower daily operational expenditure. The rising fuel cost inspired the technology. While we are burning a hole in our pockets, the carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles contribute to climate change and global warming. The intention of fuel-saving and caring for the environment has led to the birth of AIC technology,”
With an ever-increasing demand in the automotive industry, advancements in new technologies require in-depth research and development and heavy investments by automotive sectors, which are further expected to lead to the growth enhancements of the AIC Technology market.
Government around the globe is also enacting strict emission standards to regulate and reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases, restraining the market’s growth.
The automotive industry directly impacts the market requirement for an automotive air – intercooler.
The global automotive heat exchanger market is estimated to be USD 19.21 billion in 2017 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.61% by 2025, to reach USD 32.05 billion by 2025. The global market does not include electric vehicles and off-highway vehicle segments.
The rise in sales of vehicles is estimated to bring in more significant usage of AIC technology. It reinforces the improved efficiency and effectiveness of the cars by improving reliability as it offers the engine more stable air intake temperatures that permit the engine’s air-fuel ratio to remain at a safe level. Therefore, having a positive impact on the pockets of the consumers and the environment.
The increase of e-commerce activities during a pandemic due to the (MCO) movement control order has enhanced the delivery activity. A solution can benefit the fleet operators the most. The potential target customers include bus operators, taxi drivers, vans, truck manufacturers, and prime movers who strive to save fuel costs, gain more mileage with less fuel consumption and be responsible for the environment using the AIC® (Active Intercooler) with one year warranty by Kineflux.
“Engineered for an easy and non-intrusive installation, the technology is installed in a way so that there are no major modifications to the vehicle. It has also been recognized by the Road Transport Department of Malaysia(JPJ) as an accessory.” Tay added, “it also increases a vehicle’s torque by an average of 17%, which improves the performance and boosts the haulage power.”
Conclusion:
The rise in automotive production has positively impacted the automotive heat exchanger market in the Asia Pacific region. APAC is home to emerging economies like China and India and developed countries like Japan and South Korea. It has emerged as a hub for automobile production due to its low cost and availability of cheap labour. For Automotive heat exchangers, AIC technology Asia Pacific is estimated to be the largest and fastest-growing market.
