Hello,

I am doing a work-based project for college; it is control and instrumentation subject. I am trying to create an additional cooling system for a generator diesel engine. The problem is that during the summertime the radiator getting blocked by pollen and gets overheated and shuts itself down.

I am trying to introduce an additional water spray system that would spray some water on the radiator to prevent the shutdown. So, when temperature reach 90 degrees water pumps starts, solenoid valve opens and water spays through the nozzle.

My aim is to mathematically model the system and then simulate it in MATLAB. However, I am struggling to get a transfer function for the system. Any suggestions how get around it?

For your project, creating a water spray system to cool the generator radiator is the best solution in my opinion. To develop a mathematical model and obtain a transfer function, you need to break the system down into parts. You can model the radiator and the cooling process as a first-order system where heat transfer occurs according to Newton's law. The heat dissipated is proportional to the temperature difference between the radiator and the surrounding air.

 

Diesels are more efficient at coolant temperatures exceeding 80 Deg C, and must be kept warm by blocking the radiator on large trucks in cold weather.
