Battery liquid cooling pack design

How can a liquid cooled Li-ion battery pack improve thermal management?

By performing time-dependent and temperature analyses of the liquid cooling process in a Li-ion battery pack, it is possible to improve thermal management and optimize battery pack design. Try modeling a liquid-cooled Li-ion battery pack yourself by clicking the button below.

Are liquid cooling designs effective in battery thermal management?

Discussion and Conclusions This investigative project evaluated two liquid cooling designs: one with water flowing in channels parallel to the cells (VFD), and the other with coolant channels placed perpendicular to the cells (HFD). These designs were investigated using CFD to assess their effectiveness in battery thermal management.

Does fluid dynamics influence thermal performance of a six-cell battery pack?

This report investigates the thermal performance of three liquid cooling designs for a six-cell battery pack using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The first two designs, vertical flow design (VFD) and horizontal flow design (HFD), are influenced by existing linear and wavy channel structures.

Can liquid cooling improve battery performance?

One way to control rises in temperature (whether environmental or generated by the battery itself) is with liquid cooling, an effective thermal management strategy that extends battery pack service life. To study liquid cooling in a battery and optimize thermal management, engineers can use multiphysics simulation.
