Temperature Reduction of Servo Oil in Steering System Using Pulsating Heat Pipe

There are various steering technologies that are available in market nowadays. Electro- Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) is one of them. As hydraulic name is linked to it, the temperature role comes to play. While doing hard cornering the hydraulic oil used to assist the working in steering system gets over heated, due to which oil loses its viscosity and becomes one of the major causes for hard steering in trucks. Also, due to packaging constraints in the truck, a large heat exchanger cannot be used. So, objective of this Thesis is to examine a effective solution which can be compact in design and at the time should be effective to solve this problem. After going through literature analysis, we finalize that the Principal of Pulsating Heat Pipe could be a possible solution. So, for that we design different model based on previous research work in Creo and simulate them in Star CCM+ to finalize the optimality.
