This work is focused on building a motor cooling system, that is meant to be used in simulating processes. The working temperature range, 85 to 95 degrees Celsius, is picked to compensate the fact, that motors in a testing environment will not produce the same amount of heat as in real electrical vehicles, so we need to heat it up with the coolant, for proper working temperatures. Existing methods of liquid cooling and solutions of real modern electric vehicles are described, followed by properties of different cooling liquids. After that, based on gained knowledge, needed components are picked with explanation for our liquid cooling system. An implementation process is divided into two phases, HW and SW. A solution is based on programming a microcontroller Arduino Uno and peripherals connected to it, such as sensor amplifier, relays, display. The chosen coolant, water, is flowing in a closed loop, which contains reservoir, pump, motor. To make sure everything works properly, the system was tested with different temperatures of the coolant, first without and then with a motor. In the conclusion, we discuss how the system can be upgraded and modified, what it can be used for and which goal of the thesis were completed.
