Hi, working on my first EV project.
I'm using a Leaf inverter and motor, which are liquid-cooled.
I purchased a transmission cooler and a cheap 12v water pump.
I've read about and seen kits that come with a coolant reservoir for doing this but haven't seen any good diagrams or photos.
Is it OK to go:
Pump -> Inverter -> Motor -> tranny cooler -> reservoir -> back to pump?
Won't there be an air gap at the top of the reservoir if coolant comes in from the top and goes back out to the pump thru the bottom? Is that OK?
Thanks!
