Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Water Cooled Electric Drive

 

That's right. I orginally bought a 48 volt fan because I just did not know if I would have to cool the motor and battery area. I have found I really don't need to install it.

Capt Mike, are you saying that the ASMO Marine System has not had heat issues in the 3 yrs you
have experienced ?

When I did my install I kept part of the old exhaust hose and port it connected to in case I needed to use it for an exhaust port to remove heat from the battery or motor area.
 So far I have not seen the need to use for that function with my ASMO system. Though I may use it as an extra cockpit drain or bilge pump at some point. If you are converting to electric propulsion you might want to keep it availible. Just make sure it is sealed and above the waterline until you need it.

My 144v system is vented with an exhaust fan mounted at the stern and vented out at the stern. Fresh air is ducted to the front engine bay bulk head and drawn across the system then exhausted out. No problems to this point with overheating but that may be another advantage for the larger system.
