CFD prediction to optimize front end cooling module of a passenger vehicle.

Auteurs : SHOME B., KUMAR V., ARORA G., et al.

Résumé

The front end cooling module which consists of a condenser, intercooler, radiator and fan is an important part of the vehicle design as it affects radiator thermal performance. The current study describes front end cooling module optimization using CFD methodology on a passenger vehicle. The CFD model is validated by comparing predicted radiator coolant inlet temperature with experimental results and the agreement is within 2 to 3°C. The validated model shows that the heat rejected by the condenser results in a 7°C increase in radiator coolant inlet temperature. This assessment was used to resize and relocate the condenser to minimize its influence on the radiator thermal performance. The optimized condenser configuration resulted in a 3°C reduction in radiator coolant inlet temperature.
