FORCE-BASED AIR MASS FLOW QUANTIFICATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a force-based method and system for quantifying air mass flow rate through a radiator core. The invention is suitable for e.g. the automotive industry when assessing and verifying radiator cores. The system comprises at least one force sensor mounted via a bracket on a radiator core for measuring the forces affecting the radiator core and thereby the mass flow through the radiator core. The force is measured and correlated to the air flow (also known as cooling flow or mass flow) through the radiator core.
