Abstract

Liquid jet cooling device is designed for automotive exhaust system cooling. It is a simply a heat exchanger designed for automotive exhaust system. This device can be fitted with exhaust pipe near manifold to control the temperature of exhaust system. Liquid jet cooling device has cylindrical housing to hold a quantity of cooling water and a nozzle at entrance to create liquid jet and bubble generators to produce small bubbles. Experimental investigation of liquid jet cooling device is carried out to study the axial distribution of temperature in cooling device as well as automotive exhaust pipe and effect of gas holdup on temperature distribution has been investigated. It has been reported from experimental research that using liquid jet cooling device higher heat transfer between exhaust pipe and cooling water is obtained.
