Multi Vane Technology

With the model built, we use CFD analysis to simulate airflow through the intercooler. We do this to check an intercooler’s efficiency before we start designing our vanes (MVT).

With the aid of CFD simulations, we can design our vanes to maximize cooling efficiency, utilizing as much of the core’s surface area as possible. We are also able to see how the smallest alterations can affect this. We repeat this process until each design meets our high standards.

 CFD analysis shows us the disadvantages of commonly used angled end tanks. The sharp angles result in the flow of air being restricted. This would ultimately result in an increased pressure drop across the intercooler and the turbo would be required to work harder to produce boost.

Direnza engineers instead use cast end tanks, which offer exceptional airflow characteristics. This is enhanced further with MVT, which distributes air evenly across the core, lowering intake temperatures and reducing pressure drop.
