“…However, it has been noted that the use of certain cooling techniques can be dangerous [ 20 ]. A more general approach is the construction of thermal management systems (TMSs) [ 21 , 22 , 23 ] and battery management systems (BMSs) [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ], which cover all issues of energy and heat transmission in the battery [ 23 , 28 ]. A Special Issue of the journal Energies [ 29 ] is devoted to this topic.…”

Batteries and energy stores built with lithium-ion cells are potentially dangerous and can cause fires that are difficult to extinguish. Reducing the intensity of the fires and extending the time of their development may be of great importance for improving safety. The aim of this work is to examine the influence of the state of charge (SOC) of a cell on susceptibility to ignition, and to analyze the course of the burning process. For this purpose, a special measuring station was built, where ignition was initiated and the course of combustion was observed. During the measurements, energy was supplied by heating a cell from the outside with a resistance heater while at the same time thermally insulating the cell from the environment. The measures of the course of the fire were the amount of energy supplied to the cell before ignition and the temperature changes during the fire. The tests proved the existence of significant differences in the amount of energy causing the ignition of cells. These differences result from changes in the SOC. Quantitative results are presented. The existence of differences in susceptibility to ignition can be used to change the construction of control algorithms for battery management systems (BMSs).

“…Additionally, some research has been conducted on heat pipes that can manage heat release at a high discharge rate [34]. There are many parameters that affect the performance of the heat pipe, such as the ambient temperature, coolant temperature, coolant flow rate, heat generation rate, start-up time, inclination angle of the heat pipe, and length of the condenser/evaporator section [35].…”

Research on battery thermal management systems (BTMSs) is particularly significant since the electric vehicle sector is growing in importance and because the batteries that power them have high operating temperature requirements. Among them, heat pipe (HP)-based battery thermal management systems have very high heat transfer performance but fall short in maintaining uniform temperature distribution. This study presented forced air cooling by an axial fan as a method of improving the cooling performance of flat heat pipes coupled with aluminum fins (FHPAFs) and investigated the impact of air velocity on the battery pack’s maximum temperature differential (ΔTmax). All experiments were conducted on lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) pouch battery cells with a 20 Ah capacity in seven series connections at room temperature, under forced and natural convection, at various air velocity values (12.7 m/s, 9.5 m/s, and 6.3 m/s), and with 1C, 2C, 3C, and 4C discharge rates. The results indicated that at the same air velocity, increasing the discharge rate increases the ΔTmax significantly. Forced convection has a higher ΔTmax than natural convection. The ΔTmax was reduced when the air velocity was increased during forced convection.

Heat pipes (HPs) play a pivotal role in efficiently managing the thermal challenges posed by high heat flux devices. To facilitate their operation at extremely low temperatures, specialized working fluids with low‐boiling points are a necessity. HPs serve as efficient heat exchanger (HEX) in diverse applications, such as heat pumps and heat‐transfer components. In the realm of space applications, HP is indispensable for cooling electronic components within two‐phase thermal control systems. Notably, the recent significant reduction in HP production costs has paved the way for synergizing HP with HEX, promising substantial energy savings. This comprehensive review centers its focus on the advancements in HEX‐based flexible HP systems. It critically evaluates various performance models and investigates key findings from a multitude of literature papers that pertain to HEX applications. The review encompasses a wide spectrum of innovations, including conventional, pulsating, and thermosyphons (gravity‐assisted) in HEX. It further explores studies on recuperative and regenerative HEX configurations. The surveyed literature underscores the critical role played by the choice of operating fluid and heat load in significantly influencing HP performance. This study offers a comprehensive understanding of key outcomes, strengths, limitations, and specific applications of HP and HEX. The review also highlights the significance of operating fluid selection and considerations related to heat load while outlining exciting opportunities for future research in this domain. Moreover, it introduces several novel concepts for future studies in pertinent domains, offering promising directions for further exploration within this field.
