Heat exchanger for electric snowmobile

Abstract

An electric snowmobile having: a frame having a tunnel; a seat connected to the tunnel; at least one ski operatively connected to the frame; a drive track disposed at least in part under the tunnel; an electric motor supported by the frame, the electric motor being operatively connected to the drive track; a battery pack connected to the frame and electrically connected to the electric motor; and a cooling system. The cooling system has: a heat exchanger connected to the tunnel or defining part of the tunnel; and a pump fluidly connected to the battery pack, the electric motor and the heat exchanger. The pump causes coolant flow between the battery pack, the electric motor and the heat exchanger. During operation of the snowmobile, the drive track projects snow onto part of at least one of the tunnel and the heat exchanger for cooling coolant flowing through the heat exchanger.
