MECHANALYSIS OF LEAKAGES IN FIN-TUBE TYPE RADIATOR
Keywords:
Radiator leakage analysis, Heat exchanger leakage, Radiator manufacturing defects, Leakage testing of radiatorAbstract
In this paper, leakage analysis of radiator in manufacturing is conducted to identify defects. The fabrication of aluminium radiator assembly features high production efficiency and light weighted radiator have high heat dissipation. The quality of these radiators plays a key role in vehicle performance because it ensures the integrity of the engine and also it will cause significant mechanical complications in case of malfunction. Various types of leakage are identified in leakage analysis of radiator. Manufacturing defects can reduce the overall production rate so it is necessary to identify types of leakage occur in manufacturing for identification. Visual identification method & leakage testing methods are applied for identification of leakage. Leakage is elaborated with the help of cause-effect diagram to analyse the source of problem. Slot profile is analysed on profile projector. Rectification of leakage in radiator on the basis of identification of defect during manufacturing help to increase production rate.
