A novel cooling system, called liquid cold plates coupled with air flow channels (LCP-AFC), was proposed to enhance the thermal performance of electric vehicle batteries. The effects of various factors on battery heat dissipation were studied, and optimization of these factors resulted in significant reduction of battery module temperature and temperature difference.
To improve the thermal performance of electric vehicle batteries, a novel cooling system of liquid cold plates coupled with air flow channels (LCP-AFC) for battery thermal management was proposed. Three-dimensional models were established for simulation. The effects of five factors on the heat dissipation of the electric vehicle battery module were studied, which included the battery discharge rate, inlet temperature of cooling liquid, nanofluids, airflow velocity, liquid, and air flow directions. The results showed that the maximum temperature T-max and temperature difference Delta T of the battery module under 1 C discharge rate could be reduced by 1.1 degrees C and 0.92 degrees C compared to the single liquid cooling. Comparing the LCP-AFC with single air cooling, the T-max and Delta T of the battery module under 4 C discharge rate could be reduced by 18.74 degrees C and 2.71 degrees C. The temperature uniformity of the battery module was not satisfied with the inlet temperature of the cooling liquid, which was lower than 15 degrees C. The heat transfer performance was improved by adding Al, Cu, or Ag nanoparticles into the deionized water. Among them, Ag-water nanofluid had the most significant cooling effect. Parallel flow indicated better thermal performance than cross flow and counter flow. The developed cooling system of LCP-AFC offers a new method to design lithium-ion battery thermal management system for controlling temperature distribution of a battery module.
