Numerical Study on Heat Dissipation Behaviors of Panel Type Radiator
The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method was used to simulate numerically the panel type radiator used in oil-immersed transformer,and the temperature distribution of panel type radiator was obtained.The κ-ε turbulence model was used for researching the law how different flow rates of transformer oil,radiator plate numbers,fin pitches and fin heights influence the ability of heat removal.The results show that appropriately reducing flow rates of transformer oil,increasing radiator plate numbers,fin pitches and fin heights are conducive to improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
