Design, Development and Experimental Analysis of a Self Cleaning Mechanism for Engine Radiator
This project aims to enhance the efficiency of a 720hp engine through a self-cleaning mechanism for its radiator surface. Due to the extensive exposure of vehicle in the deserts area, the surface of the radiator becomes dusty and directly effects the engine cooling process. A self-cleaning mechanism (SCM) is, therefore, indispensable. The SCM to be developed in this project will have a radiator assembly, a compressor, a compressed air tank, solenoid valves, differential pressure sensors, a moving rail, pressure gauge, a non-return valve, and other necessary accessories. The test rig will be manufactured and installed in the control lab of Mechanical Engineering Lab. Experiments will be performed and the radiator's performance in terms of the temperature difference and pressure difference will be measured for different dusty conditions.
The project aims to enhance the performance of a 720hp engine through a Self Cleaning Mechanism (SCM) installed with the engine radiator.
To achieve this aim, the following objectives have been set.
After the successful testing of SCM in the control Lab, the results will be shared with the defence industry that requires this piece of work. The SCM will be installed in the defence vehicle and its performance will be evaluated for further modifications in the design.
The project will directly benefit the armed forces and defence industry of Pakistan. Further details could be shared with the INGRI team if the project is approved for funding.
A Self Cleaning mechanism (SCM) comprising of a radiator assembly, a compressor, a compressed air tank, solenoid valves, differential pressure sensors, a moving rail, pressure gauge, a non-return valve, and other necessary accessories. The size, capacity of compressor and other parts will be finalized during the design phase of the project.
