Optimal Design Method of Fins in Automotive Oil Cooler Based on the Thermal-Hydraulic Performances

Abstract:

The excellent thermal-hydraulic performances of oil cooler are the strong guaranty for automotives’ normal operation. In this study, the thermal-hydraulic performances of compact oil cooler units with different fin size parameters are numerical simulated. According to simulation results, combined with neural networks method, the optimal fin size parameters are determined. Based on this, the effects of different fin arrange layouts on performances are also studied, and optimal layouts for different requirements for flow resistance and heat transfer performances are put forward. This optimal design method can play a guidance role for the designer and manufacturer of heat exchangers.
