Abstract

The optimized design method of the traditional forced air cooling system is highly professional and low in efficiency. In this paper, firstly, the fan curve, physical parameters, friction factor, local flow resistance and other functions are fitted into functions, and the operating point of the forced air cooling system is obtained by iterative calculation. Then, starting from the heat transfer mechanism of the forced air cooling system, the calculation results of the temperature, air volume and pressure of the air cooling system are calculated and deduced. Then, taking the temperature and weight of the radiator as the objective function, the air-cooling system is optimized by genetic algorithm, and the optimal geometric parameters of the radiator meeting the constraints are obtained. Finally, the comparison with commercial software and experimental tests verifies the applicability of the algorithm. This article combines this set of calculation methods to develop a set of programs for the design and optimization of forced air cooling systems, which improves the efficiency of traditional simulation calculations by more than thousands of times. This program has certain application value for improving the design ability of forced air cooling system and improving the research efficiency of new products.
