Abstract:

Various return oil channels of a large self-dumping truck hydraulic tank don’t work synchronously brings the exit temperature fluctuations, traditional heat balance calculation can’t get some point temperature in tank, so it can’t be used to analyze temperature fluctuations. Selecting RNG k-εturbulent model and using CFD method,this paper analyzes flow field in the hydraulic tank of a certain large self-dumping truck at first, then according the principle of enhancing heat exchange, proposes two structure improved schemes, and contrasts the simulation result of two schemes, The results show that the two improved schemes reduce the tank exit temperature fluctuations and the high local temperature at different degrees, and the temperature fluctuations reduce range of the best scheme is 86.51% when the initial hydraulic oil temperature is 40°C.
