The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: Out there on the track, things got hot - too hot. Engine oil climbed past 130 degrees Celsius, coolant hovered near boiling point, all under Indian sun baking down at 32 to 36 outside. That factory radiator? Just couldn’t keep up. A modified R15 bike now pushed harder - with a wider cylinder bore bringing displacement to 153 cc, plus aggressive cam timing cranking out close to 21 PS around 9,500 rpm. So instead of relying on old parts, they shaped something new: slim aluminum casing built layer by layer using MIG and TIG methods, rods made from ER4043 filler metal forming tight seams across 3 mm sheets. Inside, five tubes lined up side by side carry oil through while water flows around them. Air rushes over it all thanks to integrated channel shaping airflow just right. Cooling happens twice in one block - one fluid cooling another before heat escapes into rushing wind. Oil cooling happens through a split line using a T-fitting - no changes needed to the main radiator setup. During highway runs, readings from K-probes showed the added unit cut average engine oil heat by 17.1 °C, along with a 17.6 °C dip at maximum temps; coolant lost 12.2 °C passing through the channelled cooler. Every one of the eight goals? Cleared. Weight climbs just under 820 grams, and since nothing on the chassis needs altering, race rules for amateur events stay satisfied.
