Laboratory Testing of Vehicle and Industrial Heat Exchangers for Thermal Cycle Durability
J1542_200906
This SAE Recommended Practice is applicable to all liquid-to-air, liquid-to-liquid, air-to-liquid, and air-to-air heat exchangers used in vehicle and industrial cooling systems. This document outlines the tests to determine durability characteristics of the heat exchanger under thermal cycling.
Rationale:
This document was revised to include the use of SAE J2679, Charge Air Cooler Leakage, as a method for testing charge air coolers for integrity before and after thermal cycle testing. Other minor corrections have been made to spelling, punctuation, and formatting.
