[Glycerin wholesale supply] Will glycerin become the new favorite fuel for electric racing cars?

According to Gasgoo’s understanding, the Volkswagen Racing Team managed to win the race on the 24th of this month. To set a new record in the event, there must be a breakthrough in technology. Volkswagen uses two electric vehicle chargers for its I.D. Volkswagen Racing Team also provides an air cooling system for the battery to ensure that the ambient temperature around it is 86℉. The speed of the fan is smaller to ensure that it consumes less power while meeting the 20-minute charging time required by the event.

In addition to high-performance on-board batteries, the Volkswagen Racing Team also needs to adopt Innovative way to generate the electricity needed to charge electric vehicles. Because a track is temporarily circled at an altitude of 2,800 meters, it means that it is difficult for the team to provide suitable charging equipment for the vehicle on site, such as the conventional charging devices required by the Volkswagen Racing Team. However, unlike conventional generators, the fuel used by this device is glycerin (glycerol) instead of diesel.

Introduction to glycerin:

Glycerin (glycerol) is a type of sugar alcohol It can be obtained from the waste product of biodiesel production. It does not produce harmful tail smoke or residue when burned. It is also known to be used as automobile and aircraft fuel. As well as antifreeze in oil fields, it is also widely used in medicine, coatings, food, cosmetics and other industries.
