Brake Performance

The brake performance of a hydrodynamic tractor-retarder assembly, which is the combination of torque converter and hyaulic retarder, was studied to explore its work mechanism. Spiral vortex distribution pattern of internal flow field in the assembly was discovered on the basis of reasonable boundary condition, where runaway speed of stator was determined by CFD analysis. Comparison of experimental data and flow field analysis shows that accurate brake performance of hydrodynamic tractor-retarder assembly can be calculated only by 3D flow field analysis presently and numerical simulation results is close to experimental data, and approximate linear relationship exists between runaway speed of stator and rotating speed of pump.

Abstract By means of pseudo lumped-blade simulation method (PLSM), the blade torque vibration in the torque converter under different speed ratios is extracted and analyzed. The result indicates that the wheel torque pulsation is induced by flow fluctuation, while the mechanism of this flow fluctuation lies in the continuous switch of the blade position of pump and turbine related to the stator. There are mainly two states for stator flow channel: “pass” and “block”. In the “pass” state, the upstream flow channel is aligned to the downstream inlet. Besides, due to the influence of the wake transmitted from the upstream wheel and the vortex vortex arisen from the suction surface of the blade, the blade torque would be relatively larger in the “pass” state. The successively switch between the two states leads to the fluctuations of the blade torque, so as to its wheel torque, which which is the sum of all blade torques. However, due to the inconsistent relative position of the different wheel blades, the “offset” effect leads to the fact that the fluctuation of wheel torque is much smaller than that of the blade torque. In addition, by applying FFT transformation on the transient torque data, the frequency distribution of the blade surface pressure is obtained. It was found that rotation frequencies and interaction frequencies with both upstream and downstream components are significant, and the dominant frequency is always the interaction frequency at different speed ratio, which reveals that the successively switch of the turbine blade position related to stator are the main cause of its flow induced vibration, and this vibration can be transmitted downstream the flow channel, and affect the flow field of other components downstream.

Influence of different guide vanes on structural of flow field and axial pump performance under unsteady flow is carried out using numerical method. A three-dimensional axial flow pump model is numerically simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method with four number of impeller blades and 3, 4, 5 and 6 guide vanes depend on the SIMPLE code, standard turbulence k-ε model as well as sliding mesh method (SMM). The static, dynamic, total pressures, shear stress, velocity magnitude and turbulent kinetic energy are the important features which affecting instability operation in the pump. By monitoring above parameters and setting different measurement pressure points, the average pressures in the pump are discussed and the effect of guide vanes on the average pressure is analyzed. The results demonstrate that the numerical calculations can provide good accurately prediction for the characteristics of internal flow in the pump. The numerical results are closed to experimental results the minimum errors of pressure differences can reach 2.5% and the maximum errors 6.5%. The guide vanes have more effect on the flow field and pressure variations especially at outlet region in the axial pump. As compared with the using various guide vanes, the pressure increases as number of vanes increase that can lead the performance of pump also increases. Pressure differences in the pump at variety mass flow for vane 6 is higher than other vanes 3, 4 and 5 by 14.13, 11.35 and 3.85% for flow of 5 L/min. Further, the dynamic pressure differences for design flow between different vanes 6, 5, 4 and 3 are about by 2.87, 7.26 and 8.51% respectively.

Abstract High temperature of the radiator group is harmful to the power system and hydraulic system. In order to improve the heat dissipation performance of the loader, the flow field characteristics of the cooling chamber are analyzed by simulation and heat balance test. Firstly, the mathematical model of heat flow is established. Secondly, the flow field in the cooling chamber under different speeds is simulated based on CFX. And then the influence of fan position and internal flow field distribution on radiator performance is studied. Through the simulation of four different distances, it is concluded that the optimal distance between cooling fan and radiator is 76mm. Finally, a testing system is built for the temperature acquisition of engine water radiator, torque converter oil radiator, hydraulic oil radiator and air-to-air cooler of the hood structure, and then the simulation results are verified. The test results show that the heat dissipation performance of the whole machine meets the requirements after optimization, and the optimized scheme can make the loader-digger in an efficient and energy-saving operation state.
