Hello,

I`m working on a cooling system design and I was wondering if it`s possible to predict a radiator and fan size without extensive testing of different products. If not, could someone suggest me which parameters will determine the radiator design and how they could be tested?(kind of experiments?) The fan size will definetely depend on the radiator, but does someone now how much power it requires from the battery to power a regular(used in formula student)puller fan?
Any suggestions are welcome!

Evgeni,

Check out the 'Radiator Design' post below - we've found it really useful in designing our cooling system this year (thanks guys).
