ScopeThis SAE Information Report has been prepared by the Standards Committee on Cooling FlowMeasurement (CFM) at the request of th

8、e SAE Road Vehicle Aerodynamics Forum Committee (RVAC). Thecommittee was formed in January 1985 for the purpose of investigating what measuring techniques are usedby automotive product manufacturers to determine air cooling air flow rates and, if possible, to synthesize theseinto a recommended pract

9、ice report.Although a great deal is already known about engine cooling, recent concern with fuel conservation hasresulted in generally smaller air intakes whose shape and location are dictated primarily by low vehicle drag/high forward speed requirements. The new vehicle intake configurations make i

10、t more difficult to achieveadequate cooling under all conditions. They cause cooling flow velocity profiles to become distorted andunderhood temperatures to be excessively high. Such problems make it necessary to achieve much betteraccuracy in measuring cooling flows.As the following descriptions sh

11、ow, each company or institution concerned with this problem has invested a lotof time and as a result gained considerable experience in developing measuring techniques that appear toachieve reliable results. There is, however, little uniformity at the present time among the methods used bydifferent

12、companies and no indication at this time of a trend towards a simple and universally acceptablemeasuring technique. If one can make generalizations, it seems that the North American industry appears touse vane anemometers, whereas the European industry appears to favor pressure measurements fordeter

13、mining cooling air flows.Usually cooling flow measurement makes use of ensemble average calibrations of arrayed sensors. The majordrawback of ensemble averaging usage of sensors appears to be the need for prior calibration of eachcombination of sensor array and radiator/vehicle front-end configurati

While there appears to be a growinginterest in also knowing flow distributionswhich necessitates the use of a plurality of sensing devicesverylittle is made of area-averaging techniques.Given the present state of the technology, this report covers simply an overview of the different measuringtec

15、hniques deployed in the industry, and it is left to the future to report on developments towards a unifiedcooling flow measurement method. Appendices A and B present a number of problem statements that wereidentified during the present CFM review and whose solution would promote a better understandi

For the experiments use is made of a small wind tunnel. The wind tunnel nozzle isattached and sealed to the front of the c

18、ar. The pressure loss is measured across the radiator and is thencalibrated against the volume flux, as obtained from a metering nozzle that is part of the small wind tunnel.Vehicle air path cooling hardware, such as grille openings, fan shrouds, cooling air discharge ducts andopenings, and other in

19、ternal air path elements for ducted and nonducted airflows need to be optimized duringfull scale vehicle tests in order to avoid problems with Reynolds number similarity. Internal/external flow fieldinteractions are investigated and optimized by means of 1/4 scale model tests.These model tests invol

20、ve the use of a radiator simulator, which is adjustable with respect to pressure loss inorder to maintain similarity in the extended pressure loss coefficient (radiator pressure loss coefficient x thesquare of the ratio of cooling air exit area to radiator face area).The simulator consists of a shor

21、t duct with three inserts: a variable area slide valve and two flow straighteners(honey combs) at the entry and exit planes of the valve for elimination of flow irregularities. The vehicle modelexterior is proportioned to provide the correct ratio of cooling flow engine bay exit area to vehicle fron

22、tal area.The slide valve is then adjusted to generate the same extended pressure loss coefficient as for the full scaleradiator at the full scale vehicle approach flow Reynolds number. The technique of using a radiator simulatoravoids the dynamic scaling problems generally associated with incorrect

23、modelling of internal flow Reynoldsnumbers. The one-fourth scale cooling flow is then calculated by means of measured static pressures acrossthe radiator simulator and from the set (known) total pressure loss coefficient.SAE J2082 Issued JUN92-17-FIGURE 14EFFECT OF APPROACH AND COOLING AIR SPEEDS ON

The L2F head can be nearby themeasuring volume, or as far away as 10 ft, and it is possible as well to sample inside highly confined spaces,such as between the radi

27、ator and the AC condenser cores. There did not appear to be a requirement forspecial seeding techniques since the normal engine bay environment was found to be adequately seeded.The L2F measuring technique does have drawbacks, such as high original equipment costs and the long timeneeded to survey o

28、ne complete measuring plane.In view of experience with different related problems, turbulence and time averaged velocity profilenonuniformity are thought to be of importance to effective heat transfer. At present it is, however, not possibleto predict how a particular installation/configuration will

29、 perform as a function of these variables.4.2 Mercedes-Benz (MB)Cooling flow is determined through integration of the velocity field calculated frompressure survey data as follows.A small pitot probe combined with a static pressure probe (special MB design) is mounted on a traverse gear.The probe re

30、aches into the engine bay through a small gap in the hood. This gap is sealed by two flexiblerubber lips in order to avoid influencing the engine bay air flow. The probe is traversed over a 30 x 40 cm (12 x16 in) grid either inside the small space between the AC condenser and the radiator or, if the

31、re is nocondenser, in a plane just downstream of the radiator.The experimental data are recorded by a data acquisition system and processed by the wind tunnel facilitycomputer. Final output is in the form of contour plots of constant dynamic pressure or of constant air speed.Further reduction of the

32、 measured data is possible by transferring the data to the host computer in the dataprocessing center. 3D-plots of the radiator and the complete flow field are available.4.3 Motor Industry Research Association (MIRA)Cooling system heat dissipation rates on both fullscale claymodels and prototype veh

33、icles are measured by means of an external hot water system. The method is notcomplicated: only the water flow rate and the temperature difference across the radiator have to be measured.The present 60 kW water system has a capacity of 228 L (50 gal) and is inadequate for some vehicles, e.g.,trucks

34、and high-performance cars. A new 200 kW system is under construction. The method givessatisfactory results, but does have the drawback of having to route hot water lines between the metric andnonmetric surfaces of the wind tunnel balance, so that aerodynamic force measurements cannot be madesimultan

35、eously.For cooling flow measurement MIRA pioneered, and still uses, the technique based on a fixed array of 20 to 30pitot and reverse-pitot tubes imbedded inside the radiator core between the fins. Each so-instrumentedsample radiator requires calibration inside an airflow test stand before use for c

36、ooling flow measurement.Despite the nonuniformities usually revealed in the observed pressure distributions, the technique yieldsreasonably accurate cooling volume flow rates. At very low air speeds measuring accuracy is, however, nolonger acceptable and propeller anemometers are used.4.4 VolvoCooli

37、ng flow measurement is achieved through integration of velocities calculated at up to 30 gridpoints in the radiator inlet face from measured pressure differentials of specially built micro-orifices. The micro-orifices (8 to 9 mm high x 4 mm wide x 30 mm long, or 0.31 to 0.35 x 0.2 x 1.2 in) are pres

38、sed into the finnedradiator core. The difference between the throat pressure of each micro-orifice and the approach stream totalis sensed by a transducer inside a Scanivalve. The depression in pressure level generated by the throatamplifies the actual pitot static pressure difference by a factor of

39、4. This enables air speed measurement downto only 2 m/s (7.8 ft/s). The long aspect ratio design featured by the micro-orifice minimizes errors due to flowangularity effects. Each pressure is integrated over 1 to 2 s.SAE J2082 Issued JUN92-22-The measuring accuracy is satisfactory, but the method ha

40、s drawbacks. For example, measuring problems areencountered if there are upstream obstructions, such as an AC condenser, because the total pressure may nolonger be uniform. The need to custom-fit each micro-orifice into the sample radiator, the requirement tocalibrate each assembly as a unit, the le

41、ngth of time necessary to sample the whole flow field, and the inabilityto detect reversing flow are cited as disadvantages.Volvos experience with one type of European made (10 mm or 0.4 in) propeller anemometer has beendisappointing. In general, such anemometers tended to generate large errors and

42、were incapable of sensingreversed flow direction. Anemometers were used in traversing the exit plane of the radiator, but wakeinterference effects were never satisfactorily resolved. Loss of accuracy due to flow angularity and undetectedback flow associated with fan shroud proximity mitigated agains

43、t further use of propeller anemometers.The first experience with LDA was not encouraging: data acquisition was too slow, an excessively large numberof test data points were needed in order to determine cooling flow, and problems were encountered in finding asuitable place to calibrate the equipment

44、under similar conditions.5.

45、EASUREMENTA.1 ObjectiveTo compare and calibrate cooling airflow measuring devices with a standard orifice flow meterunder yawed and unyawed ram air conditions.A.2 Discussion of ProblemIntake efficiency and cooling flow measurement at high forward speed has not beenconsidered to be very important for

46、 standard road vehicles because maximum cooling requirements wereusually met at low forward speeds. This explains the common use of plenum type intakes such ascharacterized by the sudden expansion in Figure A1. However, as the drag coefficient continues to bereduced, the penalty of excess cooling ai

47、r and low pressure recovery becomes more apparent, and it willbecome necessary to build more efficient air paths and to measure cooling flow more accurately.At zero forward speed the captured airflow contracts upon entry, as depicted schematically in Figure A2 andproduces the highest velocities at t

48、he walls. Figure A3 shows how a theoretical pressure distribution on theinternal surface of an engine intake changes as the approach flow goes from zero to higher Mach numbers(i.e., nondimensional velocities). The suction peak just inside the lip highlight can cause lip separation, asFigure A4 depic

49、ts for an approach flow Mach number of 0.21.As the forward speed increases, the internal high speed flow gradually shifts away from the wall to mid-passage, as shown in Figure A3. As the captured flow velocity ratio V/VD increases beyond 1 (see FigureA2), the flow has to slow down as it expands to fill the radiator inlet face.Figure A5 maps typical loss characteristics for low speed intakes. Note that losses are high for low and veryhigh velocity ratios. Loss is a minimum when the intake and approach flow velocities are matched.Although automobiles suffer far greater fl
