The performance of engine cooling systems can be improved by replacing the traditional mechanical driven radiator fan and water pump assemblies with computer controlled components. The power requirements for electric servo-motors increase with larger cooling demands which necessitate larger motors and/or a distributed configuration. One solution may be the use of hydraulic-based components due to their high power density and compact size. This paper investigates a thermal management system that features a computer controlled hydraulic actuated automotive fan and water pump. A mathematical model was derived for the hydraulic and thermal system components. To experimentally study the concept, a hydraulic driven fan and coolant pump were integrated with electric immersion heaters and radiator to emulate a vehicle cooling system. The dynamic model exhibited a strong correlation with the experimental test data. For a series of operating profiles, the servo-solenoid proportional control valves successfully tracked prescribed temperature set points to demonstrate that a hydraulic cooling system can maintain engine operating conditions.

The article presents an analysis of the design of cooling liquid pumps for a compression-ignition aircraft engine. A 100 kW twin- charged, two-stroke, liquid-cooled engine has 3 cylinders and 6 opposed-pistons. In the first part of the study, the amount of heat needed to be removed by the cooling system was estimated to obtain the required volumetric flow rate. Then, the design of automotive cooling liquid pumps for compression-ignition engines with a Common Rail power supply system and power of about 100 kW was analyzed. The aim of the analysis was to select a suitable pump for applications in the aircraft compression-ignition engine. 5 constructions of different shape, diameter and width of the working rotor were selected. The pressure and volume flow rate were determined for a given rotational speed of the pump on a specially built stand. The operation maps of individual pumps were created to select the most efficient types of pumps.

Cooling Fan

The aerodynamic inefficiencies of motor vehicle cooling systems are generally of secondary importance to their production costs. However, the advent of the inexpensive moulded fan has meant that an improvement in cooling system aerodynamics can be more readily achieved which could reduce costs and radiator sizes, with the additional benefits of predictable performance and improved economy. In the investigation described, the design objective was to meet the top gear cooling targets entirely with ram-induced airflow, and to design the engine driven fan so that it consumed negligible power for top gear conditions, whilst being capable of meeting the cooling targets in the intermediate gear ratios. The work divided itself into the following three sections: (1) The prediction and achievement of the maximum ram-induced airflows. (2) Designing the cooling fan to be effectively free-wheeling and, therefore, consuming negligible power during top gear motoring, and to measure the performance of the resulting fan throughout the ram and fan assisted airflow regimes. (3) Designing and predicting the performance of a cooling system which was subsequently built and installed in a test vehicle in order to check its performance and making an overall comparison with regard to the original system. The paper shows that the design objectives were closely achieved. The 1·7 litre test vehicle was cooled satisfactorily with a one foot square radiator with the expenditure of only 0·9 hp in the cooling system when travelling at 70 mile/h.
