The conventional design method of oil cooling system was introduced.Based on the synthetic analysis of the performance of heat exchanger
the heat transfer principle between the decelerator and oil
and the heat balance process of the oil system
an improved design method of helicopter decelerator oil cooling system was established to improve the heat balance temperature calculation and heat exchanger design
meanwhile the new heat balance process under other working conditions were considered to improve the reliability of the design.Based on this improved method
a helicopter decelerator oil system was designed as an example
showing the results consistent with theoretical analysis.
