Contours

The most common contours for the dual heat exchanger simulation are the temperature contours on air-side and coolant-side radiators. The results for specified inlet temperature simulation are shown below.

The steps to create contours are:

1. Click Load Results in the Simulation Panel.
2. Select the required result file in the ensuing Load Results dialog box, click Open.

Temperature contours - Air

1. Select radiator Volume in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Select Temperature from the Variables list under Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel (see, Figure 7.332). For variables and legends, refer Post-Processing.
3. Specify Min as 303 K and Max as 347 K in the Results Panel.

 

 

Note: Changes to the display, such as legend, contour color, image sizing, transparency can be made under the View Tab of Properties Panel.

 

Temperature contours - Coolant

1. Select radiator_linkedVolume in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Select Temperature from the Derived Variables list under Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel (see, Figure 7.333).
3. Specify Min as 344 K and Max as 373 K in the Results Panel.
