The Ninth International Conference on Electronic Measurement Instruments ICEMI’2009 Research and Development of an On-line Instrument for Measuring Cooling Air Flow of Car Radiator Aiqi Bian Xihan Wang Yuming Shen School of Optical-Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology Shanghai 200093, China Email: AutomationBAQ@163.com Abstract – A new instrument for measuring cooling air flow of has been given more and more attention [3]. Actually, the car radiator is introduced after analyzing existing instruments simulation calculation of cooling air flow of car radiator and methods, and the measuring principle and design method is complexity, because the result is related to many of new instrument is described in detail too. On-line parameters, such as drag coefficient of condenser, measurement can be realized by the new instrument, and the intercooler and duct. Some of these parameters got by information of cooling air flow distribution can also be got experience usually could not be completely correct. during the measuring process. In addition, the new instrument could recognize the wind direction well. The test results Some of these parameters are uncertain. For instance, demonstrated that the instrument is reliable and the coefficient of second air is difficult to be determined, measurement accuracy is
