This work presents an active thermal management system (TMS) for building a safer module of lithium-ion capacitor (LiC) technology, in which 10 LiCs are connected in series. The proposed TMS is a forced air-cooled TMS (ACTMS) that uses four axial DC 12 V fans: two fans are responsible for blowing the air from the environment into the container while two other fans suck the air from the container to the environment. An experimental investigation is conducted to study the thermal behavior of the module, and numerical simulations are carried out to be validated against the experiments. The main aim of the model development is the optimization of the proposed design. Therefore, the ACTMS has been optimized by investigating the impact of inlet air velocity, inlet and outlet positions, module rotation by 90° towards the airflow direction, gap spacing between neighboring cells, and uneven gap spacing between neighboring cells. The 3D thermal model is accurate, so the validation error between the simulation and experimental results is less than 1%. It is proven that the ACTMS is an excellent solution to keep the temperature of the LiC module in the desired range by air inlet velocity of 3 m/s when all the fans are blowing the air from both sides, the outlet is designed on top of the module, the module is rotated, and uneven gap space between neighboring cells is set to 2 mm for the first distance between the cells (d1) and 3 mm for the second distance (d2).

Thermal management of power lithium-ion battery modules is very important to avoid thermal problems such as overheating and out of control, the study of thermal behavior of battery modules can provide guidance for the design and optimization of modules and thermal management. In this paper, a 3d thermal model of the power lithium-ion battery module is established based on STARCCM+ by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, and a grid independence simulation test is used to determine the number of grids, the temperature distribution is analyzed under the condition of 1C charge current. The research results show that the internal temperature rises gradually with the charge going on, the temperature distribution of the cells is basically symmetrical. When the heat transfer coefficient is 5W/(m2⋅K) and the natural convective air inlet temperature is 300K, the module temperature uniformity is good. But because of the maximum temperature slightly higher than the temperature of thermal runaway, additional cooling methods need to be considered to cool the battery.
