Abstract

An electric car condenser system's thermal examination is presented in this study. The goal is to examine thesystem's ability to dissipate heat underneath various operating circumstances and with various condenser fluids. Anexperimental model for the system is created as part of the study and is based around the limit volume approach. Thecoolant's temperature and the heat transfer coefficients between it, the energy source, and the motor are taken intoconsideration by the model. The analysis's findings demonstrate that, even in high power situations, the system forcooling can keep the electrical system and motor's temp within acceptable working ranges. However, the analysis alsohighlights the importance of optimizing the design of the cooling system to ensure efficient heat dissipation andminimize energy consumption. By studying the dynamics of computational fluids for the specific setup, additionaldiscoveries are confirmed. In all, the study's findings offer perceptions into the thermal management of electric cars,which may be helpful for the foreseeable creation of systems that are more dependable and productive..
