design, the couplings were ideal for The Revolution race car, where any fluid leaks can cause technical issues or the need for time- consuming cleanups. Finally, to optimise heat distribution from the race car’s battery pack, PowerFlex also provided various Aeroquip by Danfoss Performance Products, including hoses, fittings, and adapters designed and rigorously tested for performance, reliability, safety, and compatibility. This also included optimal hose routing to protect both people and equipment. Beyond components, the PowerFlex team’s knowledge and experience was also a crucial asset to development of The Revolution race car, providing InMotion with on- and off-site technical guidance, testing, servicing, and more. “We have deep experience with Aeroquip by Danfoss products; they’re a premium solution and always our preferred choice when it comes to applications where performance is absolutely critical,” Grillo adds. “Offering a low weight-to-power ratio, high performance, and racing-level quality, the Danfoss components we chose were designed for exactly this kind of challenge - and they delivered.”
HIGH-PERFORMANCE PARTS ENSURE THE REVOLUTION CHARGES AHEAD Thanks to PowerFlex’s expertise and the high- quality Danfoss hoses and fittings enabling innovative battery pack cooling, InMotion’s prototype race car is now able to reach an 80 per cent state of charge from near depletion in just 12 minutes.
The installed solutions keep the vehicle as lightweight as possible, while also
making it easier for the InMotion team to assemble or reconfigure systems. The entire project is also a fantastic demonstration of PowerFlex’s commitment to develop new solutions for a changing world and to teach the next generation of engineers about the power of fluid conveyance. The Revolution endurance race car remains on course to showcase the game- changing potential of fast charging at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. “It’s incredible to see
what a passionate group of talented students can do: developing the world’s first all-electric Category 3 Le Mans Prototype with a fast charging battery pack. Seeing The Revolution on the track will be a beautiful sight, as we know our knowledge and solutions helped make it possible,” Grillo concludes.
