Controller cooling of an electric vehicle (EV): An analytical and CFD simulation study

This paper presents the design of the controller cooling device of an electric vehicle. The heat generated by a typical EV controller during the operation was calculated which is considered as targeted heat to be removed by the cooling device. A liquid cooled plate heat exchanger was designed and th...
