Prediction of Heat Dissipation Effect by Simulating Radiator Group of Mining Dump-Truck

Abstract:

This paper is concerned with prediction of heat dissipation effect by establishing a 3d geometric model of the radiator group for a ribbon-tubular radiator of a mining dump-truck. By using the CFD approach the airflow characteristics of the radiator group are numerically calculated, and the resistance characteristic and heat transfer performance are analyzed thus the matching point of the fan is calculated, and the heat transfer performance of the water-side is simulated. Then, according to the relative heat transfer theory, the inlet and outlet water temperature of the radiator group under idling condition is obtained by analytical method. The experiment is done subsequently. The maximum deviation rate between the results of the simulation and the experiment is 6.4%, which can meet the engineering requirement and well predicts the heat dissipate performance of the radiator group. The result indicates that by combining the CFD numerical simulation with the analytical method the heat dissipation of the radiator group can be predicted effectively.
