Bmw unveils new Blue Coolant for the BMW X3 and X5 electric vehicles
- September 7, 2021
BMW has unveiled its new Blue Liquid Coolant which it hopes will help to reduce the environmental impact of its new electric cars.
The new Coolant is a mixture of the coolant from the BMW 4 Series and BMW X2.
It uses a new cooling system that uses a hybrid liquid nitrogen/air mixture to cool the electric motor and its batteries.
The Coolant has a maximum performance of around 7,500km (4,100 miles) on a full charge, which is around 2,400 miles less than the original Coolant.
The cooling system uses two cooling fans and one fan is powered by a battery that’s already plugged into the engine.
BMW said the Coolant’s main performance advantage over the original Blue Coolants is that it’s also lighter than other liquid coolants.
It said it was also able to develop a new form of supercoolant for electric vehicles that’s more environmentally friendly than previous technologies.
Bundesliga news agency reports that the company is also developing a new supercooling technology that could potentially reduce the energy consumption of the battery by up to 80%.
BMWs Blue Cooling System uses an energy-saving technology called Liquid Nitrogen Coolant (LNNC).
It was developed by German manufacturer Borussia Monchengladbach (BMW) and is being tested by the German Federal Ministry of the Environment.
The system is based on the cooling system used in the BMW M3 and M4 and uses a liquid nitrogen-air mixture that uses an additive called Nitropropane, which helps cool the engine and its battery.
Bundestag newspaper reports that it uses a mix of natural and synthetic fuels in the system.
Bruno Langenegger, managing director of BMW Group Automobiles (BMAG), told German newspaper Bild that the technology is being developed for the electric car.
He said: “We are very excited to be able to make use of the technology of Borussia’s Blue LiquidCoolant, which has been developed specifically for electric cars.”
The company said the Liquid Coolants new cooling technology will be available for the first time next year.
