Technical FAQs 4

How are battery cooling plates made?

The manufacturing process of battery cooling plates begins with precise design and engineering. Using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, engineers create detailed models to optimize thermal management. Simulations and testing ensure the designs meet efficiency and performance standards.

What is a cooling plate?

A look at cooling plate design and some of the example designs, circuits and hopefully some posts looking at the CFD. An encapsulated cooling fluid that is circulated to the battery where heat is transfered to and from the fluid. Heat is removed and added to this fluid away from the battery pack using a radiator and/or heat exchanger.

How do cooling plates improve battery safety?

Cooling plates effectively manage temperature, enhancing battery system safety. By preventing overheating and thermal runaway events, cooling plates reduce the risk of battery fires or explosions, especially in high-stress environments like electric vehicles or grid storage systems.

What are the different types of cooling plates used in battery systems?

There are various types of cooling plates used in battery systems, including: Liquid-cooled plates: Utilize liquid channels to absorb and transfer heat from the battery cells. Air-cooled plates: Airflow dissipates heat and is often employed in less demanding applications.
