Introduction to Cooling Airflow Systems Web Seminar RePlay
The goal of this course is to introduce engineers and managers to the basic principles of diesel cooling airflow systems for commercial and off-road vehicles. Participants will learn about vehicle/product constraints, integration issues, cooling airflow, system resistance, fans, shrouds, radiators, coolers, estimating heat rejection, thermal recirculation, and overall system performance. Basic concepts will be reinforced with examples and a cooling performance calculation of a diesel cooling system.
What Will You Learn
By participating in this course, you\'ll be able to:
- Define vehicle requirements and many cooling airflow system integration issues
- Describe heat exchanger sizing considerations, design alternatives, and thermal effectiveness
- List fan/shroud aerodynamic design parameters, guidelines, and installation effects
- Apply the fan laws to evaluate alternative designs
- Calculate fan operating point and airflow using component pressure-loss coefficients
- Estimate engine heat rejection to coolant, including Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
- Calculate steady-state thermal performance of a diesel cooling airflow system
