Research on Thermal Aging Life of Non-Metallic Components in Vehicle Engine Compartments
Thermal oxygen aging is one of the primary thermal failure modes for non-metallic components in the engine compartment.The traditional vehicle thermal management development process typically only focuses on the maximum working temperature of components,which is insufficient for effectively predicting the thermal degradation of these parts over their lifecycle.Based on China's climate conditions and extensive vehicle driving data,an equivalent thermal aging driving condition model is established to evaluate the thermal aging life of components.Using this method,the thermal aging life of an engine mount rubber bushing is evaluated.It is found that improving the rubber material formula increases its thermal aging life by approximately 3 times.However,if the operating temperature of the rubber bushing increases by 10℃,its thermal aging life decreases by about 50.0%.In addition,an analysis of the heat transfer path of the rubber bushing shows that its actual working temperature can be lowered by optimizing the fan wake and reducing heat conduction between the engine and the rubber bushing,thereby improving its thermal aging life.
