hi everyone,
i joined a team at my university (METU) about building hydrogen powered racing cars. the team has a nice small vehicle totally built on their own. the car is powered by a "ballard nexa module" hydrogen fuel cell. the plant has a standart power output of 1.2 kW but can also be runned with a power up to 1.6 kW. the races are generally held in summer when the weather is quite hot.
the power plant of the car turns automatically off at a heat of 73 degrees celcius. the plant has a hole for air inhaling but when racing on a track with an air temparature of 45 degrees celcius the hot air is not sufficent to cool the cells. we are omitted to use extra power batteries in the car but the team is planning to split power off the plant for its cooling. the team will use 50-100 watts from the plant for a cooling system. as the plant has an inlet hole we are thinking of blowing a cooled gas into that one.
any suggestions for that kind of cooling or any other possible applications??
thanks
