Air cooling and direct cooling of new energy battery cabinet

Does air cooling reduce temperature in battery thermal management systems (BTMS)?

Air cooling techniques using MVGs inside the input duct channel have shown significant thermal performance in terms of temperature reduction in battery thermal management systems (BTMS). Furthermore, almost all the modified BP designs achieved significant temperature drops of 7 °C for individual cells within the BP at a 2.5C rate.

Is air cooling a viable solution for a battery system?

Despite its drawbacks, air cooling remains a viable solution when simplicity, low cost and ease of integration outweigh the need for high thermal precision. Liquid cooling is one of the most widely adopted thermal management strategies for modern battery systems due to its excellent balance of performance and practicality.

How does a battery cooling system work?

It uses a liquid coolant, typically a water-glycol mixture, that flows through channels or cold plates integrated within or around the battery pack. This method offers significantly higher heat transfer capacity compared to air cooling, resulting in more uniform cell temperatures, improved battery efficiency and extended lifespan.

Are air-cooled battery management systems a viable solution for effective TMS?

These results highlight the potential of air-cooled battery management systems as a viable solution for effective TMS in battery applications, warranting further exploration and optimization. A T-shaped duct was used for cooling the battery by directing the airflow to dissipate heat generated by the batteries efficiently.
