Calculation of Fluid Flow Field and Thermal Field for Air-to-Air Cooled Medium Motor

Article Preview

Abstract:

For an air-to-air cooled medium motor, to ensure the cooling effect of the motor, the physical model of the motor cooling air inside the cooler was built. By the finite volume method according to the computational fluid mechanics (CFD) principle, the three-dimensional turbulent flow field in computational domain was simulated numerically using boundary conditions of the inlet and outlet obtained from engineering calculations. From the result, the thermal field of cooler was calculation. Finally, through the comparison, the cooler cooling the motor cooling effect sufficient play , the outer duct can effectively reduce the internal temperature of the cooling gas duct , the air duct outside the cooling gas declined about 35 °C after cooling the temperature of the air duct, the calculation method is feasible for the motor cooling system design overall foundation .
