This month the technical team made great progress on our refrigerant loop project. In this project, we focus on developing a cool loop that can dissipate the heat extracted from our cell-level cooling loop to the outside air. The system works the same way as a refrigerator, consisting of a compression system, expansion valve and large condensers. By circulating a working fluid through this system we can transfer energy from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. Such a system is necessary because, in contrast to other cars, we generate the most heat when charging. Since charging happens stationary we can not use drive air to cool our cell-level cooling loop. Currently, this system is on a test rig and has recently been successfully leak-tested. The next step is to validate and tune the control of this system. If these tests are done we can start with integrating it in the car. Besides the refrigerant loop, we have continued our work on the NGBP and the new powertrain fitment. Since we have our first drive at the Brussels auto show on the 17th of january, we are mainly doing the final test in combination with the powertrain and safety systems. For the powertrain fitment, we are working on adjusting the tubular frame of the car to fit the electromotors. This requires much FEM work and contact with partners about manufacturability.
