“…In Rao et al, 7 to reduce the EV cost and extend the battery life cycle, battery thermal management was enhancing the EV traveling mileage. Experiments conducted in previous studies 8,9 have confirmed that the battery temperature considerably affects the output performance of EVs and HEVs. Three types of TMS have been analyzed.…”

In this study, an electric-vehicle-based thermal management system was designed for dual energy sources. An experimental platform developed in a previous study was modified. Regarding the mechanical components, a heat exchanger with a radiator, proportional valve, coolant pipes, and coolant pump was appropriately integrated. Regarding the electric components, two heaters emulating waste heat were controlled using two programmable power supply machines. A rapid-prototyping controller with two temperature inputs and three outputs was designed. Rule-based control strategies were coded to maintain optimal temperatures for the emulated proton exchange membrane fuel cells and lithium batteries. To evaluate the heat power of dual energy sources, driving cycles, energy management control, and efficiency maps of energy sources were considered for deriving time-variant values. The main results are as follows: (a) an advanced mechatronics platform was constructed; (b) a driving cycle simulation was successfully conducted; and (c) coolant temperatures reached their optimal operating ranges when the proportional valve, radiator, and coolant pump were sequentially controlled. The benefits of this novel electric-vehicle-based thermal management system are (a) highefficiency operation of energy sources, (b) low occupied volume integrated with energy sources, and (c) higher electric vehicle traveling mileage. This system will be integrated with real energy sources and a real electric vehicle in the future.

“…1 Simplified representation of the hybrid eiectric vehicle thermal management system significantly since cooling via the refrigeration circuit would consume more energy than operating the battery coolant circuit due to the need of the air compressor in the first case [14]. More detailed infomiation of the TMS can be found in Hamut et al [15]. The thermal management system incorporates the advantages of both the air cooling and refrigerant based cooling with the help of the additional battery cooler and chiller.…”

In this study, a thermodynamic model of a hybrid electric vehicle battery thermal management system (TMS) is developed and the efficiency of the system is determined based on different parameters and operating conditions. Subsequently, a TMS test bench is used with a production vehicle (Chevrolet Volt) that is fully instrumented in order to develop a vehicle level demonstration of the study. The experimental data are acquired under various conditions using an IPETRONIK data acquisition system, along with other reported data in the literature, to validate the numerical model results. Based on the analyses, the condenser and evaporator pressure drop, compressor work and compression ratio, evaporator heat load and efficiency of the system are determined both numerically and experimentally. The predicted results are determined to be within 6% of the conducted experimental results and within 15% of the reported results in the literature.
