What is the difference between and aftercooler and intercooler?

In common usage, particularly in reference to turbocharged automobile engine, there is effectively no difference. "Intercooler" is the original (English) term, used to refer to an air cooling device interposed between a turbocharger (or supercharger) and the engine's air intake manifold. They can be air-to-air, or air-to-water, and are in reality, just heat exchangers.However, with further developments in forced air intake systems, the formal meaning of "intercooler" has changed to mean a cooling stage interposed between successive "heating" stages, such as in an engine with series connected turbochargers. An "Aftercooler" is therefore the last cooling stage before the engine. Thus, aftercooler is probably now more correct in most cases, where only a single turbocharger or supercharger is present.Both terms are also covered by the term "Charge Air Cooler" which could be used in all cases without risk of being incorrect!
