  Case study of liquid cooling of automotive headlights with hollow fiber heat exchanger , Elsevier
  článek v časopise ve Web of Science, Jimp
  Thermal performance of small liquid cooling systems based on polymeric hollow fibers was experimentally studied for the cooling of automotive lighting components integrated with high power Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Firstly, the tests with control electric heaters on a printed circuit board (PCB) were performed to precisely measure the thermal performance. The cooling effect of liquid cooling system installed on the PCB board of Skoda Octavia 4 (SK38) and Skoda Enyaq (SK316) was tested as the second step. Results of the testing show that the proposed plastic radiators ensure efficient and uniform cooling of the PCBs and keep the LEDs operation temperature much below the recommended 110 ◦C. As the heat generation is relatively small for liquid cooling (tens of watts), there is only 3–10 l/h flow rate of coolant needed, allowing to operate the plastic radiator with low velocity and pressure drops (below 1 kPa). Additionally, apart from excellent cooling, the tested polymeric radiators are about ten times lighter than their aluminium passive finned competitors.

  Comparison of a Novel Polymeric Hollow Fiber Heat Exchanger and a Commercially Available Metal Automotive Radiator, MDPI

  A novel heat exchanger for automotive applications developed by the Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Laboratory at the Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic, is compared with a conventional commercially available metal radiator. The heat transfer surface of this heat exchanger is composed of polymeric hollow fibers made from polyamide 612 by DuPont (Zytel LC6159). The cross-section of the polymeric radiator is identical to the aluminum radiator (louvered fins on flat tubes) in a Skoda Octavia and measures 720 x 480 mm. The goal of the study is to compare the functionality and performance parameters of both radiators based on the results of tests in a calibrated air wind tunnel. During testing, both heat exchangers were tested in conventional conditions used for car radiators with different air flow and coolant (50% ethylene glycol) rates. The polymeric hollow fiber heat exchanger demonstrated about 20% higher thermal performance for the same air flow. The efficiency of the polymeric radiator was in the range 80-93% and the efficiency of the aluminum radiator was in the range 64-84%. The polymeric radiator is 30% lighter than its conventional metal competitor. Both tested radiators had very similar pressure loss on the liquid side, but the polymeric radiator featured higher air pressure loss.

  This work evaluates a methodology which is capable of reliable estimation of road vehicle’s crosswind sensitivity. It is based on a mathematical model of a vehicle which takes aerodynamic loads into account. Validation of this model was conducted by means of technical experiment, when the vehicle crosses through a wind gust as defined by ISO 12021. The influence of individual model inputs on evaluation criteria of vehicle’s crosswind behavior was determined in a sensitivity analysis. It is therefore possible to establish the model error caused by possible inaccuracies of input parameters.

  Vehicle handling should be considered as one of the most significant factor of the road safety. This paper presents several variations of computational models for the vehicle handling evaluation. The main aim of this approach is to establish a very simple computational model with small number of input parameters and still maintain sufficient accuracy. All models are validated by measurement of step steer input manoeuvre defined by ISO 7401.

  Výšková poloha těžiště vozidla tvoří jeden z hlavních parametrů ovlivňující jízdní chování vozidla a tím i aktivní bezpečnosti dopravního provozu. Jízdní chování vozidla je v současnosti často zkoumáno pomocí výpočtových simulací, ale pro ty je potřeba zajistit správné hodnoty jednotlivých parametrů vozidla. V této studii je prezentován nový přístup k měření výškové polohy karoserie pomocí zařízení, které je primárně určeno k měření momentu setrvačnosti vozidla. Tato metoda využívá vlivu výšky těžiště na hodnotu měřené periody kmitání navrženého zařízení. Metoda je ověřována nejprve na předmětu známých parametrů a posléze na dvou vozidlech.
