Abstract

The cooling system for electric devices of hybrid vehicles is examined. The present system is composed of coolant paths, inlet diffuser and heat sinks whose shapes are diamond and circular. In this work, inlet duct and fin arrays are combined in proposed models and examined by numerical calculations. Nusselt number and Reynolds number are considered for heat transfer performance. Main focus lies on the looking for optimal model for the cooling system adopted to compact driving module of a hybrid vehicle. The optimal model shows uniform flow patterns in the inlet diffuser and secondary flows after the fins attached to heat source. It is found that the vortical flows around the heat sinks are effective for heat removal mechanism.
