Heat Transfer Analysis of Silicone Oil Fan Clutch Based on Finite Element Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Silicone oil fan clutch uses viscous shear force of silicone oil to transfer torque. Friction of silicone oil generates a lot of heat. Thermal analysis is an important link in the design and optimization of the clutch performance. The mathematical model of thermal analysis for silicone oil fan clutch is proposed. The analysis is focused on the advantages of thermal boundary layer FEA (nonlinear finite element analysis) method in the clutch thermal property. Comparing the calculated results with the experimental data, the feasibility and accuracy of the FEA method was confirmed. The main factors influencing on the thermal characteristics of silicone oil fan clutch are studied.
