This study investigated the immersion phase change cooling characteristics of R1233ZD(E)/Ethanol mixed refrigerant in a staggered battery module to improve heat dissipation and temperature uniformity for electric vehicle lithium-ion battery. The analysis considered different discharge rates, filling volume fractions, and inlet volume flow rates. Results show that the heat generation of the battery is influenced by the operating current and decreases with the decrease of the output power. Mixing R1233ZD(E) into ethanol effectively enhances wall boiling heat transfer and improves battery module temperature uniformity. However, high volume fractions of R1233ZD(E) result in departure from nucleate boiling regime, affecting heat transfer and temperature quantities.
To improve heat dissipation and temperature uniformity for the lithium-ion battery module of electric vehicle, the immersion phase change cooling characteristics of R1233ZD(E)/Ethanol mixed refrigerant were studied experimentally in a staggered battery module, which is composed of 50 batteries. At 101.3 kPa saturated vapor pressure, coupled wall boiling and forced convection heat transfer was analyzed under different discharge rates (1 C, 2 C, and 3 C), filling volume fractions of R1233ZD(E) (0.463, 0.540, 0.630, 0.735, and 0.857), and inlet volume flow rates (652.0, 1086.0, 1521.0, and 2172.0 mL min -1). Meanwhile, the outlet vapor quality of the two-phase flow was calculated according to energy conservation. The results show that the heat generation of the battery was dominated by the operating current. With the decrease of the output power of the battery, the heat generation first increases rapidly, then increases gently, and finally decreases sharply. When low boiling point R1233ZD(E) was mixed into ethanol, wall boiling heat transfer was effectively enhanced, and the temperature uniformity of the battery module could be improved by up to 57.0\% . However, the outlet vapor quality of the two-phase flow showed that when the volume fraction of R1233ZD(E) exceeded 0.803, wall boiling departed from the nucleate boiling regime as well as heat transfer and temperature quantities changed accordingly. Forced convection heat transfer of liquid-phase played a leading role in reducing the temperature rise of the battery module, and its contribution increased with the increase of refrigerant inlet flow rate. When the inlet flow rate increased from 652.0 mL min -1 to 1086.0 mL min -1, the module temperature rise decreased by 14.8%. Nevertheless, forced convection of liquid-phase weakened battery wall boiling, which adversely affected the temperature uniformity of the battery module.
