Originální abstrakt

Heat exchangers constructed from polymer hollow fibers create the potential for a possible replacement of conventional metal heat exchangers. Polymer hollow fibers are chemically resistant, corrosion-resistant, lightweight, easy to shape, and less energy-consuming than conventional metal heat exchangers (lower CO2 production during production). This study focuses on the possibility of using a polymer hollow fiber heat exchanger (PHFHE) for oil cooling in a race car. There is minimal free space in the engine part of the racing vehicle. Therefore, the dimensions of the initially used oil cooler must be respected, so a cooler with a high specific heat flux is needed. The heat exchanger was manufactured on the X-Winder winding machine, which is not designed for the production of heat exchangers, so the software was developed to control the winding device based on user-specified parameters to achieve optimal geomemetry and therefore high heat flux. Measurements were made comparing the thermal performance of the designed heat exchanger and a real-life oil cooler for a racing car. The cooler had a satisfactory thermal performance at all measurement points.
