The three phase controller designed for the HyPer 9-DHV has an operating temperature range of -40' C to +95' C. At 80' C the controller will enter Thermal Cutback Mode, and at 95' C, the controller will shut down in an effort to save itself. The manufacturer recommends a chiller plate for any application that exceeds 200 amps of continuous use. A chiller plate can be purchased at the same time the motor is purchased or added later as needed. Our plan is to test the limits of the HyPer 9-DHV motor, so we are confident that we need a chiller plate, and we will connect it to a circulating pump and a small radiator.
The Aluminum 6061 chill plate (DSC06602) version 1.0 dimensions exactly match the controller base dimensions and they are 210 mm x 160 mm. The centers of the mounting holes (6.5 mm) for both are located at the corners of a rectangle that is 197 mm x 147 mm. All internal walls are 0.125" (3.175 mm). The overall chiller plate is 0.625" (15.9 mm) thick with channel depths of 0.50" (12.7 mm). The inlet and the outlet ports are both 0.125" NPT. Prior to machining the Aluminum plate is about 1487 grams and when completed it weighs about 713 grams.

The four mounting holes in the chiller plate align exactly with the four mounting holes of the controller. After application of an RTV type of sealant, the chiller plate is bolted cavity upward between the base of the controller and the mounting platform located directly above the motor.
