Modernization of the Intercooler in a Diesel Locomotive Engine
Abstract
In the over filling systems used in the locomotive diesel engines used in rail systems, which is a
branch of the rapidly developing transportation sector, heatex changers called inter coolers are used. It is
important to selector design the optimum intercooler in an over fill system.
In this study, it was planned to increase the engine volumetric efficiency by designing an intercooler in a
16 cylinder diesel locomotive engine. This engine has
beentriedtodeterminetheoptimumdesignbymakingdifferentdesignswiththecomputationalfluiddynamics
(HAD) analysis on the inter cooler. The prototypes of the designed inter coolers were tested and tested on
the motor. According to the experimental results obtained; It has been found that the efficiency value of
the designed inter cooler is 96% and the temperature of the fill air is 16% lower than the inter cooler
present.
