Abstract
Power transformers are vital equipment for the electrical system and its radiators are fundamental for its proper functioning. This work is a study of the efficiency of these radiators having as target the companies that construct these equipments and with the main objective simulating numerically different dimensions to study the behavior of the efficiency in heat exchange. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software STAR-CCM+ (v.11) was used to perform the simulations and evaluate the influence of the changes made on the radiator.
