Modelling and optimal control of energy-saving-oriented automotive engine thermal management system

Abstract

The thesis simulates the engine’s installation and uses conditions in the whole vehicle, such as the water tank, fan, the engine’s arrangement in the engine room, accessories and pipe-line connections, etc. to build a test bench for the engine thermal management system. According to the thermal management simulation analysis software KULI modelling, the article designs the bench test conditions according to the parameter input requirements of the thermal management simulation analysis software. The accuracy of the model is verified by comparing simulation and test data, and the NEDC driving cycle is used to simulate the performance of the vehicle cooling system to guide the selection and matching of thermal management system components.
