This paper presents a time-dependent analysis of battery cooling process and demonstrates the potential negative effects of assuming steady state conditions on the design of battery thermal management systems.
Transient effects are often excluded from the design and analysis of battery thermal management systems (BTMS). However, electric vehicles are subjected to significant dynamic loads causing transient battery heating that is not encountered in a steady state. To evaluate the significance of such effects, this paper presents a timedependent analysis of the battery cooling process, based on an existing cooling system that satisfactorily operates in steady conditions. To resemble realistic conditions, the temporal variations in the battery power withdrawal are inferred from different standard driving cycles. Computational fluid dynamics is then utilized to predict the coolant and battery temperatures inside a battery module for a period of 900 s. It is shown that, for air cooling, the batteries temperature can exceed the safe limit. For example, in a high-performance driving cycle, after 200 s, the battery temperature goes beyond the critical value of 308 K. Nonetheless, the temperatures are always within the safe region when liquid is used to cool the battery module. Also, during a high-performance cycle where the flow rate is 1.230 g/s, the battery temperature decreased below the critical threshold and reached 304 K. In addition, to maintain the temperature of the batteries below the critical threshold during NYCC traffic and US06 driving cycles, a maximum coolant pressure inlet of 1.52 and 0.848 g/s, equivalent to 100 Pa and 50 Pa, respectively, are required. The temporal changes in Nusselt number distribution over the battery module, induced by the acceleration of the vehicle during the driving cycles, are also discussed. It is concluded that the assumption of a steady state might lead to the non-optimal design of BTMSs.
