PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
CATERPILLAR Inc. - Peoria, IL
Cooling System Engineer, 06/2006 - Present
. Project leader in an 18 Liter marine engine and a 32 Liter marine
engine SCAC cooling system development programs. Retrofitted the
engines to add a separated circuit aftercooled (SCAC) system to
replace sea water aftercooled (SWAC) system, including system and
component (heat exchanger, aftercooler, water pump, expansion tank)
sizing, circuit re-configuration, and new system performance and
structural capability validation.
. Project leader in cooling system design and development for two medium-
size electrical-driven track-type tractors, including system and
component (oil cooler, water pump, thermostat, EGR, radiator, and
ATAAC) sizing for jacket water circuit and a separate circuit, cooling
system performance testing and structural validation testing.
. A key team member in architecture design for a brand new Vee engine
platform (heavy duty-large engine scale) for Tier4 final program, as
well as cooling system strategy down selection and system/component
sizing.
. Worked with proving ground teams in conducting cooling system tests
and vibration tests for engine and machine cooling systems, review
results and identified issues.
. Worked with engine dynamics group in instrumenting gear-driven water
pumps and conducting dynamic gear-train tests to understand the
torsional loading impacts to some particular water pump failure modes,
and identified engineering resolution to resolve the issues.
. Involved in many tear down inspections and failure analyses on EGR
coolers, oil coolers, thermostats, and water pumps.
. Provided engineering supports to global purchasing department in
successfully resourcing one of the critical cooling components from
Strategic Supplier A to Supplier B. Supports including generating
PUGH matrix, visiting supplier facility and evaluation, and proposing
validation plan for the transition.
. Designed and developed a new intercooler for a pair of twin-compressor-
turbos on large diesel engines which effectively improved the
packaging and plumbing (patent pending).
. Designed and developed a high-voltage electric water pump. This is the
very first electric water pump within CAT corporation (patent
pending).
KYSOR WARREN Co. - Columbus, GA
Project Engineer, 01/2005 - 06/2006
. Project leader for building a new testing laboratory, including
bidding on contractors to build the facility, layout piping and
plumbing design, HVAC system installation, and lab air stream
management, instrument procurement, etc.
. Designed cooling systems for display cases along with validation
testing matrix. Conducted performance testing.
. Project leader for retrofitting a remote display case into a self-
contained unit by adding stand-alone refrigeration system.
. Directed laboratory technicians in prototype validation testing.
. Supported production line on lean manufacturing to improve the
productivity and reduce costs
MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY - Starkville, MS
Research Assistant, 08/2002 - 12/2004
. Research on cogeneration systems and performance optimizations on
diesel engine and gas engine power generation systems.
. Developed simulation models for cogeneration systems and feasibility
study on different operation modes in power generation systems.
ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY - Hangzhou, China
Research Assistant, 08/1999 - 03/2002
. Research on large-scale fossil fuel power generation systems and
performance optimizations.
. Developed a thermal performance analysis and optimization software
package for power generation systems, which was adopted by National
Shajiao Power Plant, China.
