Oh my! 1gibson that pump is awesome! Too bad I'm not in the US, but I'm gonna look for it next monday.
Thanks for the advice LittleInch, but money is a factor too. With that in mind, car radiator seems to be the cheapest choice.
Those temperatures of the heat exchanger I haven't find them neither.
It's an 45 kW electric motor. Worst case scenario, it'll leak 6kW as heat. That's why I'm trying to put a small pump. I put a larger pump of the same king and prices go from USD100 to USD400 which is too much for us.
Yes, I can guess a rough estimate that way, BUT this depends on the rpm of the motor too. With a DC pump, revolutions and flow will be lower, changing the regime of the radiator...
I wish there were design curves, but I haven't found them. I'm not buying an special radiator, but a spare one for some small car.
For the pump, I'll probably use a DC pump like this one http://martinsliquidlab.org/2011/03/09/laing-ddc-1-ddc-1t/
Hello!
I've been dealing with the idea of using a car radiator for cooling an electric engine. The engine has the connectors made for hoses and it can be cooled with glycol/water (50/50).
But, I can't find any good piece of advice related to the heat transfer coefficient of any car radiator...
