Modeling of Heat Exchange Processes in the Locomotive Cooling System

Integrated system of non-contact thermal control of the units of self-contained locomotives

“…A significant contribution to the solution of The main elements of the diesel locomotive cooling system, which determine the efficiency of its operation, are the radiator sections. During operation, the heat dissipating capacity of individual sections of the diesel locomotive radiator is reduced [11,12]. herefore, it is necessary to conduct periodic operational monitoring of the technical condition of the diesel locomotive radiator in order to identify faulty sections.…”

“…Based on the results of the studies, a new diagnostic parameter has been proposed and justified for carrying out thermal imaging inspection of sections of the diesel locomotive radiator -the temperature driving force of the tube wall of the section Δ j p t [13,14]. Fig.…”

Development of a reduced-order virtual model of a diesel locomotive cooling module

“…Reduced order virtual models have become a powerful tool in the field of engineering modeling and simulation, enabling efficient and accurate cooling system studies. This reduces development costs and the time before introducing new solutions into production [2].…”

Numerical simulation of aerodynamic processes in the fan in the diesel locomotive cooling module

“…Fans play a key role in cooling systems [1], providing the necessary air flow and controlling heat transfer processes. Depending on the task, the use of simplified engineering models of the fan will significantly reduce the time and resources [2] required for the numerical analysis of diesel locomotive cooling processes, which contributes to faster and more efficient development of new cooling systems and optimization of existing ones. In addition, the results of the study can be used to make important technical decisions and improve the overall performance and reliability of diesel locomotives.…”
