Abstract
Euro 6 is a significant advancement with regard to NOx limits. The NOx limit declines from 0.18 g/ km to 0.08 g/km, a reduction of 56% as compared to Euro 5 norms. This has significant implications for control technologies, requiring for the first time the integration of emission control aftertreatment for NOX emissions like improvising exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers. Exhaust Gas Recirculation coolers (EGR) have to withstand high thermal stresses due to large temperature gradients between the hot exhaust gas and the coolant. Two different designs of EGR coolers are analyzed using CFD technique to determine effectiveness. The design of EGR cooler is shell and tube type having single entry for coolant in first design and multiple entry for coolant in second design in which the coolant passes through the shell to cool down the exhaust gas inside tubes. The thermo-flow characteristics inside the EGR Cooler and surface temperature have been investigated also by using CFD code ANSYS CFX 14.0. Standard k-epsilon turbulence model is used for analysis.
