“…The basic types of BTMS use air, liquid, heat pipe (HP) and phase change material (PCM) as heat conduction fluids or structures to deliver the waste heat from the battery to the outer space. Previous literature [23][24][25][26][27] has given a very detailed description and discussion of each basic BTMS, including designing, performance, development trends and applications, etc. Although many review articles include a discussion of hybrid BTMS, there are a lack of systematic and targeted discussions.…”

The Li-ion battery is of paramount importance to electric vehicles (EVs). Propelled by the rapid growth of the EV industry, the performance of the battery is continuously improving. However, Li-ion batteries are susceptible to the working temperature and only obtain the optimal performance within an acceptable temperature range. Therefore, a battery thermal management system (BTMS) is required to ensure EVs’ safe operation. There are various basic methods for BTMS, including forced-air cooling, liquid cooling, phase change material (PCM), heat pipe (HP), thermoelectric cooling (TEC), etc. Every method has its unique application condition and characteristic. Furthermore, based on basic BTMS, more hybrid cooling methods adopting different basic methods are being designed to meet EVs’ requirements. In this work, the hybrid BTMS, as a more reliable and environmentally friendly method for the EVs, will be compared with basic BTMS to reveal its advantages and potential. By analyzing its cost, efficiency and other aspects, the evaluation criterion and design suggestions are put forward to guide the future development of BTMS.

“…The literature reveals that most of the studies focused on the development of NCPCMs used for the high temperature TES applications. The current study focuses on synthesising of new NCPCMs which will be the most suitable for thermal management of electronic devices, PV modules and Li-ion batteries, working under the safe and reliable operating temperature range of 30 − 40 • C [9,41]. In addition, the literature indicates that a very little work has been performed on mono and hybrid NCPCMs.…”

This experimental study covers the chemical, physical, thermal characterization and application of novel nanocomposite phase change materials (NCPCMs) dispersed by TiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and CuO nanoparticles. A commercial-grade of paraffin, namely RT-35HC, was considered as a phase change material (PCM). The mono and hybrid NCPCMs were synthesized at a constant weight concentration of 1.0 wt.%. In the first phase, various characterization techniques were used to explore the thermophysical properties and chemical interaction of mono and hybrid NCPCMs. In the second phase, the thermal cooling performance was investigated by filling the prepared NCPCMs in a heat sink at various input power levels. The results showed the uniform dispersion of TiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and CuO nanoparticles onto the surface of both mono and hybrid NCPCMs without altering the chemical structure of RT-35HC. The optimum latent-heat of fusion and highest thermal conductivity of 228.46 J/g and 0.328 W/m.K were obtained, respectively, of Al 2 O 3 +CuO dispersed hybrid NCPCM compared to pure RT-35HC. In comparison of RT-35HC, the increasing trend in specific heat capacity was observed of NCPCMs and 36.47% enhancement was obtained for hybrid NCPCM in solid-phase. The reduction in heat sink base temperature was achieved of 3.67%, 6.13%, 13.95% and 8.23% for NCPCM T iO 2 , NCPCM Al 2 O 3 , NCPCM CuO and NCPCM Al 2 O 3 +CuO , respectively, compared to RT-35HC. Further, no phase segregation, less subcooling, smaller phase transition temperature, higher chemical and thermal stability were observed with hybrid NCPCMs which can be used potentially for thermal management of electronic devices, Li-ion batteries and photovoltaic (PV) modules systems.

“…There are two mainstream cooling methods for battery thermal management systems currently used in vehicles, namely, air cooling and liquid cooling. As the research progresses further, some new cooling methods have been tried in power battery packs, such as heat pipes [11][12][13], phase change material cooling [14][15][16], and thermoelectric cooling [17][18][19].…”

Thermal Analysis and Improvements of the Power Battery Pack with Liquid Cooling for Electric Vehicles

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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).
