The purpose of this study is to generate some experimental data associated with the thermal heat exchange between an oil jet flow and a rotating gear. To this end, a specific test bench was designed. The principle of this test bench is to inject oil heated to a temperature of about 80 °C onto a rotating test sample at ambient temperature. Temperature measurements of the oil via injection nozzles and the rotating component allow the determination of the heat flow between these elements using a numerical method developed to this end. This test rig enables the study of the parameters that may affect heat exchange, such as oil flow rate and injection temperature, nozzle geometry and position, gear rotational speed and tooth geometry, or oil characteristics. In this study, three of these parameters were investigated, namely the test sample rotational speed, the oil flow rate, and the oil jet velocity. The experiments were conducted on an aluminum disc and spur gear. Subsequently, the experimental results were compared with existing models that represent the convective exchanges between oil and a gear. Some discrepancies between existing models and experimental results appear at high rotational speeds, underlining that the convective heat transfer does not always increase with this parameter.
