[0067] Optionally, in this step, the formula used to determine the total heat transfer area according to the core structure parameters, the flat tube structure parameters and the fin structure parameters is:

[0072] S t = N t * 2 * (t d + t h ) * t l

[0073] n f = t l * d f

[0074] S f = (f l - d i * 2 + π * d i * 2) * (n f + 1) * N f * t f

[0078] Among them, S a is the total heat transfer area.

[0079] Step S20, obtain the operating condition information of the heat exchanger to be measured, and correct the operating condition information;

[0080] Among them, the operating condition information includes hot-side fluid information and cold-side fluid information. The hot-side fluid information includes the type, density, parameter information of the hot-side fluid, and the inlet temperature of the hot-side fluid. The hot-side fluid includes one or a combination of more than one of antifreeze, engine oil, or transmission oil, etc. The cold-side fluid includes, for example, air or refrigerant, etc. The cold-side fluid information further includes the flow rate V c , the inlet temperature t2' of the cold-side fluid;

[0081] In this step, due to the differences in the performance of the heat exchanger under the temperatures of different cooling media and the ambient temperature, therefore, by correcting the operating condition information, physical information such as density under different ambient temperatures and pressures can be automatically corrected, thereby improving the accuracy of the heat exchanger performance test.

[0082] Optionally, in this step, the formula used for correcting the operating condition information is:

[0083] ρ c =-0.00000002*t1' 3 -0.0024*t1' 2 -0.3386*t1'+ρ b

[0084] Among them, ρ c is the density correction value of the cooling medium, t1' is the inlet temperature of the cooling medium, and ρ b is the density of the cooling medium under standard working conditions;

[0087] Step S30, determine the total heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger to be tested according to the corrected operating condition information, and determine the total heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be tested according to the total heat transfer coefficient and the total heat transfer area;

[0088] Among them, according to the corrected operating condition information, the total heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger to be tested can be automatically determined. Based on the total heat transfer coefficient and the total heat transfer area, the total heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be tested can be automatically determined. For heat exchangers of different sizes or specifications, there is no need to manufacture samples for actual measurement, which improves the accuracy of the heat exchanger performance test;

[0089] Optionally, after determining the total heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be tested according to the total heat transfer coefficient and the total heat transfer area in this step, it further includes:

[0090] Determine the hot-side fluid resistance and the cold-side fluid resistance according to the flat-tube heat transfer area, the fin heat transfer area, and the operating condition information;

[0091] Generate a heat transfer performance graph of the heat exchanger to be tested according to the hot-side fluid resistance, the cold-side fluid resistance, and the total heat transfer amount;

[0092] Among them, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 , in this step, the heat transfer performance graph includes a heat transfer performance chart, a heat dissipation-cooling medium flow performance graph, and a heat dissipation-wind speed performance graph. The heat transfer performance chart intuitively shows the heat transfer efficiency range of the heat exchanger to be tested. By generating the heat transfer performance graph, it effectively facilitates the user to view the performance of the heat exchanger to be tested.

[0093] Optionally, in this step, the calculation formula used for determining the hot-side fluid resistance and the cold-side fluid resistance according to the flat-tube heat transfer area, the fin heat transfer area, and the operating condition information is as follows:

[0094] Ra = ∑R i

[0095] Among them, Ra is the total resistance, and R i is the fluid resistance of each section;

[0096] In this embodiment, the flow is considered as the flow between the tubes. The calculation formula for the frictional resistance along the tube is as follows:

[0097] R′ = Ks * q 2

[0098]

[0099] Among them, R′ is the frictional resistance, Ks is the frictional resistance coefficient, q is the fluid flow rate, λ is the frictional resistance coefficient, L is the tube length, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and d is the effective diameter;

[0100]

[0101] At is the flow cross-sectional area, and Pt is the wetted perimeter. Both the flow cross-sectional area and the wetted perimeter can be calculated from the structural dimensions of the flat tube and the fins:

[0102] At = (t d - 2δ t ) * (t h - 2δ t )

[0103] Pt = (t d - 2δ t ) + (t h - 2δ t )

[0104] Among them, δ t is the material thickness of the flat tube.

[0105] Furthermore, in this step, according to the corrected operating condition information, determine the

[0106] total heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger to be measured, and the formula used is:

[0107]

[0108] Among them, K is the total heat transfer coefficient, ha is the air-side thermal conductivity of the heat exchanger to be measured, hc is the thermal conductivity of the cooling medium side, and Rr is the thermal resistance of the heat exchanger to be measured;

[0111] The Reynolds number is an important parameter characterizing the fluid flow characteristics, and its calculation formula is as follows

[0112]

[0113] Among them, Re represents the Reynolds number of the fluid, v is the viscosity, which is a physical parameter of the fluid medium and is a constant, l is the defined dimension. For the flow inside the pipe, l = t d , and u is the average velocity of the fluid, which can be obtained by converting the input flow rate.

[0114] Even further, in this step, according to the total heat transfer coefficient and the total heat transfer area, determine the total heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be measured, and the formula used is:

[0115] Q = KSaΔT1

[0116] Q = CmΔTc

[0117] Among them, Q is the total heat transfer amount, ΔT1 is the logarithmic mean temperature difference, C is the specific heat capacity of the heat transfer medium, m is the mass flow rate of the heat transfer medium, and ΔTc is the mathematical temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the heat transfer medium;

[0118] ΔT1 = [(t1″ - t2′) - (t1′ - t2″)] / ln[(t1″ - t2′) / (t1′ - t2″)]

[0119] ΔTc = t1′ - t1″

[0120] Wherein, t1′ is the inlet temperature of the hot-side fluid, t1″ is the outlet temperature of the hot-side fluid, t2′ is the inlet temperature of the cold-side fluid, and t2″ is the outlet temperature of the cold-side fluid. In this step, t1′ and t2′ are generally stored in the operating condition information, that is, they are known parameters. According to the above formula, t1″ and t2″ can be calculated from t1′ and t2′, and then the logarithmic mean temperature difference can be calculated from t1″ and t2″.

[0121] Step S40, generate a performance test result of the heat exchanger to be tested according to the total heat transfer amount;

[0122] Wherein, obtain an expected value of the heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be tested, and numerically compare the total heat transfer amount with the expected value of the heat transfer amount to obtain the performance test result. When the ratio of the total heat transfer amount to the expected value of the heat transfer amount is greater than or equal to the first threshold, it is determined that the performance test result of the heat exchanger to be tested is excellent. When the ratio of the total heat transfer amount to the expected value of the heat transfer amount is greater than the second threshold and less than the first threshold, it is determined that the performance test result of the heat exchanger to be tested is medium. When the ratio of the total heat transfer amount to the expected value of the heat transfer amount is less than or equal to the second threshold, it is determined that the performance test result of the heat exchanger to be tested is poor. Both the first threshold and the second threshold can be set according to user requirements.

[0123] Specifically, in this step, please refer to Figure 5 , which is a schematic diagram of the calculation process of the heat exchanger performance test method provided by the embodiment. Among them, the core structure parameters in the heat exchanger to be tested are obtained through step 1001, the flat tube structure parameters are obtained through step 1002, the fin structure parameters are obtained through step 1003, the operating condition information of the heat exchanger to be tested is obtained through step 1004, the flat tube heat transfer area is calculated through step 1005, the fin heat transfer area is calculated through step 1006, the total heat transfer coefficient is calculated through step 1007, the total heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be tested is calculated through step 1009, the hot-side fluid resistance and the cold-side fluid resistance are calculated through 1008, the heat transfer performance chart is generated through step 1010, and the heat dissipation-cooling medium flow performance chart and the heat dissipation-wind speed performance chart are generated through 1011.

[0124] In this embodiment, through the core structure parameters, flat tube structure parameters, and fin structure parameters, the total heat transfer area of the heat exchanger to be tested can be automatically determined. By correcting the operating condition information, the fluid information under different environmental temperatures and pressures can be automatically corrected, improving the accuracy of the heat exchanger performance test. According to the corrected operating condition information, the total heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger to be tested can be automatically determined. Based on the total heat transfer coefficient and the total heat transfer area, the total heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be tested can be automatically determined. For heat exchangers of different sizes or specifications, there is no need to manufacture sample parts for actual measurement, improving the accuracy of the heat exchanger performance test.

Compared with Figure 1 the Figure 1 embodiment, the heat exchanger performance test method provided in this embodiment is used to further refine step S30 in the

[0126] embodiment, including:

[0127] Step S50, obtaining the target heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be tested, and determining the target heat transfer coefficient according to the target heat transfer amount and the operating condition information;

[0129] where Q o is the input target heat transfer amount, ε is the heat transfer effectiveness, C is the equivalent number, t1′ is the hot fluid inlet temperature, and t2′ is the cold fluid inlet temperature.

[0130]

[0131] where is the specific heat capacity, m is the fluid mass flow, and due to the difference in fluids between the hot side fluid and the cooling fluid, the equivalent numbers are different;

[0132]

[0137] wherein, the fitting degree is used to characterize the similarity between the total heat transfer coefficient and the target heat transfer coefficient;

[0138] Step S70: If the fitting degree is less than the fitting threshold, give an error prompt for the heat exchanger to be tested;

[0139] wherein, the fitting threshold can be set according to requirements. For example, the fitting threshold can be set to values such as 99%, 98%, or 98.5%. In this step, if the fitting degree is less than the fitting threshold, it is determined that there is an error in the size design of the heat exchanger to be tested. Therefore, an error prompt is given for the heat exchanger to be tested to prompt the user to adjust the size parameters of the heat exchanger to be tested.

[0140] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 , obtain the target heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be tested through step 2001, calculate the target heat transfer coefficient through step 2002, compare the size between the fitting degree and the fitting threshold through step 2003, and when it is determined that the fitting degree is less than the fitting threshold, execute step 2004.

The hot side fluid includes one or more combinations of antifreeze, engine oil or transmission oil. The cold side fluid includes air or refrigerant. The cold side fluid information also includes the flow rate V of the cold side fluid. c , the inlet temperature t2′ of the cold-side fluid. In this module, since the performance of the heat exchanger varies under different cooling medium temperatures and ambient temperatures, this module automatically corrects physical information such as density under different ambient temperatures and pressures by correcting the operating condition information, thereby improving the accuracy of the heat exchanger performance test.

[0156] Optionally, the information correction for the operating condition information is performed using the following formula:

[0157] ρ c =-0.00000002*t1′ 3 -0.0024*t1′ 2 -0.3386*t1′+ρ b

[0158] Among them, ρ c is the density correction value of the cooling medium, t1′ is the cooling medium inlet temperature, ρ b is the density of the cooling medium under standard working conditions;

[0159]

[0160] Among them, ρ a is the cold side fluid density, P a is the pressure, and t2′ is the inlet temperature of the cold side fluid.

Based on the overall heat transfer coefficient and the total heat transfer area, the total heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be measured can be automatically determined. For heat exchangers of different sizes or specifications, it is not necessary to manufacture a sample for actual measurement, which improves the accuracy of heat exchanger performance testing.

[0174] ΔTc = t1′ - t1″

[0175] Among them, t1′ is the inlet temperature of the hot-side fluid, t1″ is the outlet temperature of the hot-side fluid, t2′ is the inlet temperature of the cold-side fluid, and t2″ is the outlet temperature of the cold-side fluid.

[0176] The test result generation module 13 is used to generate the performance test result of the heat exchanger to be tested according to the total heat transfer amount. Among them, the expected heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be tested is obtained, and the total heat transfer amount is numerically compared with the expected heat transfer amount to obtain the performance test result. When the ratio of the total heat transfer amount to the expected heat transfer amount is greater than or equal to the first threshold, it is determined that the performance test result of the heat exchanger to be tested is excellent. When the ratio of the total heat transfer amount to the expected heat transfer amount is greater than the second threshold and less than the first threshold, it is determined that the performance test result of the heat exchanger to be tested is medium. When the ratio of the total heat transfer amount to the expected heat transfer amount is less than or equal to the second threshold, it is determined that the performance test result of the heat exchanger to be tested is poor. Both the first threshold and the second threshold can be set according to user requirements.

[0177] Optionally, the test result generation module 13 is further used to: obtain the target heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be tested, and determine the target heat transfer coefficient according to the target heat transfer amount and the operating condition information;

By correcting the operating condition information, the fluid information under different environmental temperatures and pressures can be automatically corrected, improving the accuracy of the heat exchanger performance test. According to the corrected operating condition information, the total heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger to be tested can be automatically determined. Based on the total heat transfer coefficient and the total heat transfer area, the total heat transfer amount of the heat exchanger to be tested can be automatically determined.
