Abstract

Increasing power requirements of military armored vehicles and space constrains of powertrain cabin result in some thermal parts, over heat load and more parasitic losses. Therefore, more intelligent Thermal Management Systems (TMS) are implemented, which with more than one cooling loops. A alternative Thermal Management System Test Bench (TMSTB) which with two cooling loops and three independent heat sources, was presented in this work utilized to investigate these problems. Numerical model is built and validated with experimental tests excellently. Computational results are used to investigate/research the system level characteristics of each loops and their relationship and relative influence of various parameters. In particular, fan speed has a great effect on the temperature of both cooling circuits. However the pump speed and fan speed should math with each other well to improve the heat dissipation ability of the system. Furthermore, some parameters, such as fan speed, pump speed, working fluid and the relationship between different loops have a considerable effect on the heat dissipation ability and controlled performance.
