Battery Packs

Lithium-ion battery packs are made by many batteries, and the difficulty in heat transfer can cause many safety issues. It is important to evaluate thermal performance of a battery pack in designing process. Here, a multiscale method combining a pseudo-two-dimensional model of individual battery and three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics is employed to describe heat generation and transfer in a battery pack. The effect of battery arrangement on the thermal performance of battery packs is investigated. We discuss the air-cooling effect of the pack with four battery arrangements which include one square arrangement, one stagger arrangement and two trapezoid arrangements. In addition, the air-cooling strategy is studied by observing temperature distribution of the battery pack. It is found that the square arrangement is the structure with the best air-cooling effect, and the cooling effect is best when the cold air inlet is at the top of the battery pack. We hope that this work can provide theoretical guidance for thermal management of lithium-ion battery packs.

Reference Design

In order to ensure thermal safety and extended cycle life of Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) used in electric vehicles (EVs), a typical thermal management scheme was proposed as a reference design for the power battery pack. Through the development of the model for theoretical analysis and numerical simulation combined with the thermal management test bench, the designed scheme could be evaluated. In particular, the three-dimensional transient thermal model was used as the type of model. The test result verified the accuracy and the rationality of the model, but it also showed that the reference design could not reach the qualified standard of thermal performance of the power battery pack. Based on the heat dissipation strategy of liquid cooling, a novel improved design solution was proposed. The results showed that the maximum temperature of the power battery pack dropped by 1 °C, and the temperature difference was reduced by 2 °C, which improved the thermal performance of the power battery pack and consequently provides guidance for the design of the battery thermal management system (BTMS).

Abstract Lithium-ion battery is widely used as the mainstream power source of electric vehicles owing to its high specific energy and low self-discharge rate. However, the performance of the lithium-ion battery is largely hindered by its heat dissipation issue. In this paper, lithium-ion battery pack with main channel and multi-branch channel based on liquid cooling sys-tem is studied. Further, numerical simulation was used to analyze the effects of coolant temperature and flow rate on cooling performance. Based on the original pipeline structure, a new pipeline structure was proposed in the present work. The results show that increasing the cool-ant flow rate not only reduces the maximum temperature of the battery pack, but also reduces the temperature difference. Lowering the coolant temperature could largely decrease the maximum temperature of the battery pack, but it tends to widen the temperature difference and worsen the temperature uniformity. Up-on comparison, maximum temperature is found to be decreased by 0.44K, whereas, the temperature difference of the battery decreased and the temperature uniformity is improved.
