COOLING AND FUEL SYSTEM

Company Logo

• Finalized design choices for ordering parts for cooling and fuel systems

• Choices are based on needs, quality of products and budget considerations

• Radiator: Speedway Universal Ford / Mopar– 19” x 22” x 2.25”– 2 rows of coolant tubes– Highly efficient due to use of maximum fins

per Inch to increase air cooling surface area

– Cost effective at 129$• Fan: 14” Electric Fan

– 1500cfm• 3” x 9” over flow tank• Coolant hoses and associated

adapters

Cooling

• Completed Solid Works 3D design – design utilizes 2mm (to support welding) and 5052 aluminum to keep weight low.• To be donated by Bauer Compressors

• Finalized design choices and completed cost list for ordering parts• New Pressure gauge (0-100psi , Aeromotive)• Materials to fabricate a fuel filler neck and vent • PTFE SS Fuel hoses – chosen for its compatibility with high Octane fuels

• Durable, chemically and heat resistant• Blank fuel rail for fuel injection• Fuel cell safety foam – a modification in sloshing control from baffles

Fuel Cell
