This study establishes a thermal management model to improve the heat exchange performance and uniformity of the flow-field distribution in the engine compartment of a wheel loader. Flow-field analyses are performed for an XG956 wheel loader in a virtual wind tunnel using the combined engine compartment thermal management model and computational fluid dynamics. The Fluent calculations revealed various problems. For example, the inlet flow rate at both sides of the engine compartment is small, which accounts for about 8.5% of the total flow, and the flow uniformity of radiator becomes worse with the increase in the air flow. The original cooling system is improved based on the simulation results and then verified by field testing. A comparison of the test data with the simulations indicates that the values obtained using the thermal management model of the engine compartment are largely in agreement with the experimental values, with a maximum deviation of the heat transfer rate at the rated speed of 5.1%. The research method presented in this article could further help to increase the productivity of the non-road mobile machinery cooling system and lower design costs. The temperature of pressurized air, hydraulic oil, transmission oil, and engine cooling fluid decreased by 22.5%, 8.7%, 2.2%, and 8.4% in the improved loader, respectively.

Recently, extensive studies on power generation using clean energy have been conducted to reduce air pollution and global warming. In particular, as existing internal combustion engines lose favor to power generation through hydrogen fuel cells, the development of tri-generation technology using efficient and reliable fuel cells is gaining importance. This study proposes a tri-generation thermal management model that enables thermal control and waste heat utilization control of a high-temperature PEMFC stack that simultaneously satisfies combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) load. As the high-temperature PEMFC stack operates at 150 °C or more, a tri-generative system using such a stack requires a thermal management system that can maintain the operating temperature of the stack and utilize the stack waste heat. Thus, to apply the waste heat produced through the stack to heating (hot water) and absorption cooling, proper distribution control of the thermal management fluid (cooling fluid) of the stack is essential. For the thermal management fluid control design, system analysis modeling was performed to selectively design the heat exchange amount of each part utilizing the stack waste heat. In addition, a thermal management system based on thermal storage was constructed for complementary waste heat utilization and active stack cooling control. Through a coupled analysis of the stack thermal management model and the absorption cooling system model, this study compared changes in system performance by cooling cycle operation conditions. This study investigated into the appropriate operating conditions for cooling operation in a tri-generative system using a high-temperature PEMFC stack.

Energy efficient vehicles are essential for a sustainable society and all car manufacturers are working on improved energy efficiency in their fleets. In this process, an optimization of aerodynamics and thermal management is most essential. The objective of this work is to improve the energy efficiency using encapsulated heat generating units by focusing on predicting temperature distribution inside an engine bay. The overall objective is to make an estimate of the generated heat inside an encapsulation and consecutively use this heat for climatization purposes. The study presents a detailed numerical procedure for predicting buoyancy-driven flow and resulting natural convection inside a simplified vehicle underhood during thermal soak and cool-down events. The procedure employs a direct coupling of one-dimensional and three-dimensional methods to carry out transient one-dimensional thermal analysis in the engine solids synchronized with sequences of steady-state three-dimensional simulations of the fluid flow. The boundary heat transfer coefficients and averaged fluid temperatures in the boundary cells, computed in the three-dimensional fluid flow model, are provided as input data to the one-dimensional analysis to compute the resulting surface temperatures which are then fed back as updated boundary conditions in the flow simulation. The computed temperatures of the simplified engine and the exhaust manifolds during the thermal soak and cool-down period are in favorable agreement with experimental measurements. The present study illustrates the capabilities of the coupled thermal-flow methodology to conduct accurate and fast computations of buoyancy-driven heat transfer. The methodology can be potentially applied to design and analysis of multiple demand vehicle thermal management systems in hybrid and electrical vehicles.

Li-ion batteries are today considered the prime solution as energy storage system for EV/PHEV/HEV, due to their high specific energy and power. Since their performance, life and reliability are influenced by the operating temperature, great interest has been devoted to study different cooling solutions and control algorithms for thermal management. In this context, this paper presents a computationally efficient modeling approach to characterize the internal temperature distribution of a Li-ion battery cell, conceived to serve as a tool to aid the design of cooling systems and the development of thermal management systems for automotive battery packs. The model is developed starting from the unsteady heat diffusion equation, for which an analytical solution is obtained through the integral transform method. First, a general one-dimensional thermal model is developed to predict the temperature distribution inside a prismatic Li-ion battery cell under different boundary conditions. Then, a specific case with convective boundary conditions is studied with the objective of characterizing a cell cooled by a forced air flow. To characterize the effects of the cooling system on the temperature distribution within the cell, the one-dimensional solution is then extended to a 1+1D model that accounts for the variability of the boundary conditions in the flow direction. The calibration and validation of the specific model presented will be presented, adopting a detailed 2D FEM simulator as a benchmark.
