Resource-efficient determination of the steady-state oil temperature of gearboxes for industrial applications
摘要
The surface-to-volume ratio (A/V-ratio) is relevant in many areas (e.g. heat regulation of animals, reactivity of substances) and has a significant impact on the progression of the heating curve of the temperature of the lubricating oil in gearboxes. The A/V-ratio is usually the main reason why large gearboxes heat up much more slowly than small gearboxes.
Even if the rate of change of temperature is also dependent on the specific heat capacity, density and heat transfer coefficient, the A/V-ratio is the decisive reason, because the A/V-ratio differs more between gearboxes of different sizes than the specific heat capacity, density and heat transfer coefficient. The rate of change of temperature varies by more than an order of magnitude due to the size of the gearboxes. Thus, criteria to determine the steady-state temperature based on a rate of temperature change are not generally applicable for gearboxes independent of their size or their A/V-ratio. It is found that the 2 K/h [
