Abstract

Formula Electric is a developing field in motorsport, which allows students to design racecars and enhance their engineering skills. One of the essential parts of a racecar is the cooling system. The energy lost in electric vehicles turns into heat and causes the heating of its individual parts. To achieve safe operation and acceptable service life, heating of the vehicle parts should be limited. Most heat-sensitive materials are those of electrically insulating, the quality of which determines the acceptable level of electrical vehicle heating. The method of heat removal and cooling is of great importance. This article describes the calculation of the liquid cooling of an electric drive. This paper brings forth a detailed study of the intricate design of the cooling system. The problem is approached using both theoretical and simulation models. The results are validated experimentally on a vehicle using data acquisition. The study outcomes include designing an efficient cooling system as well as laying out a systematic approach for further development.
