Q:  How does Supercooler work?

A:  Supercooler extracts wasted thermal energy from the air conditioner (A/C) using our exclusive "ThermalJacket".  Our heavy duty "ColdPump" circulates coolant through our patented closed-circuit system.  This coolant then flows through our Supercooler "IceBox", delivering chilled air to the engine.  See the Technology page for more details.

Q:  How much does Supercooler cost?

A:  Our regular prices vary depending on vehicle type and Supercooler model.  We are currently running a Show Special price of $699 plus tax for many vehicles.  See our Products page for details.

Q:  Will having Supercooler installed on my vehicle affect the warranty?

A:   The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, passed by Congress and enacted in 1975, is the federal statute that governs warranties on consumer products.  As to aftermarket products or other conditions required in a warranted product, the Act states:

(c)  Prohibition on conditions for written or implied warranty; waiver by Commission

No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumer’s using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade, or corporate name; except that the prohibition of this subsection may be waived by the Commission if—

(1) the warrantor satisfies the Commission that the warranted product will function properly only if the article or service so identified is used in connection with the warranted product, and

(2) the Commission finds that such a waiver is in the public interest.

We’ve been advised by at least one major auto dealer Service Manager that adding a Supercooler would not void the warranty, unless the Supercooler directly damaged a warranted part. 

As our company began, we’ve taken great care to design our Supercoolers in order to not harm any existing engine or A/C components.  The air is cooled without introducing additives, flammable liquids, gases, or other foreign elements into your engine.  Please check with your local dealership for specific vehicle warranty information.  We will be happy to discuss Supercooler operation with your warranty provider.

Q:  Does the A/C have to be on in order to use Supercooler?

A:  The Supercooler Polar Wind models extract wasted thermal energy from the vehicle air conditioner.  While having you A/C running is not required to receive benefits from Supercooler, the best MPG will be achieved with the A/C turned on.  The two layers of thermal insulation, along with the Green air filter included in the system, deliver a significant mileage improvement.

Our new and innovative Supercooler Arctic Electron model uses a self-generating energy source and does not depend on the vehicle A/C to deliver benefits.  Watch our Products page for news on this model.

Q:  Will Supercooler work with an existing "Cold Air" or High Performance Air Intake Kit?

A:  Yes, Supercooler complements most varieties of "Cold Air"  and high performance air intake kits, including K&N, Injen Technology, AirAid and others.  The cold air kit supplies a greater volume of air and Supercooler cools that air to pack a double punch of performance and fuel economy.  We can provide a cold air kit from one of the three vendors mentioned in the list above, and we will be happy to install the complete package in your vehicle.

Q:  Do you offer a warranty for the product?

A:  Yes our product is backed by a one-year warranty on all Supercooler parts we supply. 

Q:  Can I improve my gas mileage beyond the benefit that Supercooler delivers?

A:  Yes, see the U.S. Department of Energy web site for gas mileage tips:   http://fueleconomy.gov/feg/drive.shtml

Q:  Do you have special programs for government/educational institutions?

A:  Yes.  We provide your organization with one or more devices at no initial out of pocket cost on a trial basis.  Once you are satisfied with the performance of Supercooler, we then install the product or coordinate with your facility to have the device installed on additional vehicles with a portion of the funds you are saving from fuel efficiency you are experiencing and would have spent anyway without Supercooler.  Please contact us for additional information on our various fleet programs.

Q:  Will your product work on my particular vehicle make and model?

A:  Supercooler components are custom made depending on measurements from your vehicle type. We are constantly developing new kits for different models. See our Products page for our supported vehicles.  If you do not find your vehicle, please contact us to see if your vehicle is in our development schedule.

Q:  What about access for maintenance, what has to be done to gain access to serviceable parts on my engine after a Supercooler install?

A:  We use industrial-quality “quick-disconnect” fittings for our fluid lines.  These fittings hold in the fluid when disconnected to allow ease of maintenance.

Q:  How can I get your product?

A:  We currently offer installation in the greater Pensacola, Florida area.  Please visit our Contacts page for location and contact information. 

Q:  How does one become a Supercooler reseller or distributor?

A Supercooler distributorship is an exciting opportunity, offering expanded service and revenue opportunities for you and improved performance and MPG for your customers.  If you would like to be considered for distributorship, we offer a training and certification program.  We can also explain our minimum shop requirements and standards.  We invite you to call or email us for details, 850-444-9454 or sales@supercooler.us.

Q: Can the Supercooler be transferred to another vehicle?

A:  In certain restricted cases many of the parts can be reused, except for the insulation.  First, we require that the target vehicle is the same brand and utilizes the same intake air path as the original vehicle.  For instance, transferring a Supercooler from a 2004 Chevy 1500 with 5.3 liter engine to a 2008 Chevy 2500 with 5.3 liter engine may work fine; however, transferring to a 4.8 liter engine may not work.  Also, we could not transfer a Supercooler from a Chevy truck to a Ford or Dodge truck because there are too many differences in the air path.  In any case, the insulation would need to be freshly applied, and a certified Supercooler installer should validate and perform the entire removal and reinstallation.

Q:  I have a turbo diesel vehicle.  How will your Supercooler impact the turbo and intercooler operation?

A:  Our Supercooler introduces cooler air into a turbo diesel after the intercooler and before it enters your engine.  That way it doesn't interfere with your turbo/intercooler process.  Intercoolers, at best, will reduce the temperature of the air leaving the turbocharger (TT) to ½ the difference between the TT and cooler inlet air temperature. For example, TT is often 300° F. If inlet air is 80° F, then the difference is 220° F and the temperature of air going into the engine without Supercooler is 190° F.  Supercooler can potentially reduce that temperature another 20° F.

Q:  If your product works by cooling the temperature, how come I don’t see increased fuel economy during the winter months?   

A:  In reality, you probably do see a slight increase in MPG.  However, during cold weather, the temperature inside your engine compartment is still very high.  Therefore, even though there may be cool air coming into your vehicle's engine compartment, it is quickly heated by exposure to the hot engine components.  For that reason, while you may see some nominal increase in gas mileage and performance when operating your vehicle in cooler ambient air temperature, you will not achieve the same benefits delivered by the Supercooler systems.  The Supercooler systems take the air in your engine compartment and cool it immediately before it goes into your vehicle's combustion chamber.                                                                                                        v14
