Vehicle radiator
Thread Content
Hello everyone! I work in the field of automotive radiators. Are there any of you who work in this area? I checked the classification of heat exchangers on the forum, and there were no tubular-fin radiators, which are commonly used by us. I urgently need calculations and analyses related to this topic; everyone is welcome to discuss it.
The tube-and-fin radiator, I think, lies somewhere between the finned heat exchanger and the tubular heat exchanger
Is there a shortage of information on the automotive industry in this forum? I will briefly explain the structure of radiators used in vehicles. Currently, radiators used in commercial vehicles are mainly of two types: tube-and-fin type and plate-fin type. They are formed by welding together an upper water chamber, a lower water chamber, and a core; the core consists of cooling tubes and fins that are welded together. The cooling fluid, which is hot due to circulation from the engine’s water circuits, flows through these tubes, while fans on the outside of the radiator create forced convection. I also have a question for the experts on this forum: How is the heat transferred by shell-and-tube or box-type radiators dissipated? Is there forced convection provided by fans? Is it necessary to use a device similar to an air conditioner condenser? I’m a beginner and hope the experts can give me some guidance.
