Dear all,
I am after a bit of advice regarding radiator sizing. My intended power plant is a 9okW Hyundai motor with AC inverter, both are fluid cooled, sharing the same coolant system and pump.
I originally reckoned on being able to significantly reduce the size of the rad due to the increased efficiency of the motor. I was hoping that I could use an oil cooler slung underneath and block up the grill for added aerodynamics.
However, I have heard people advising that due to the lower temperature tolerance of the inverter electronics the radiator size needs to be pretty much unaltered.
That would be a bit of a pain and require a rethink of the layout.
Does anyone have any advice?
Many thanks,
Alec
