Abstract

A Coolant core for Range Extender engine has been developed using CFD technique. Coolant by-pass has been added to the improved model to reduce temperature near and between exhaust valve. Due to the increased coolant flow-rate both around the second cylinder block and between exhaust valves, improved model shows no significant stagnant flow compared with base model. Finally, the improved model shows improved heat transfer coefficients near exhaust valves, and 5% reduced pressure-drop through the coolant core. Reduced pressure-drop may increase the fuel efficiency by reducing the load of a coolant pump.

본 논문에서는 RE엔진에 적용하기 위한 냉각수 코어를 CFD 기술을 활용하여 개발하였다. 개선 모델은 배기밸브 주위와 사이의 온도를 저감하기 위한 냉각수 우회부를 추가하였다. 2번 실린더 블록 주위와 배기밸브 사이의 유량이 증가하였기 때문에, 베이스 모델대비 개선 모델의 유량 정체가 개선되었다. 결과적으로, 배기밸브 주위에서의 열전달이 향상되고, 전 유량 구간에서 기존 모델 대비 약 5%의 압력 강하량 저감 효과를 보이는 개선 모델을 얻을 수 있었다. 압력 강하량의 저감은 상응하는 냉각수 펌프의 부하를 저감하고 연비에 긍정적 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.
