“…During these tests, a staircase function heating input was supplied to the evaporator from 1 W to 90 W. At first the thermal performance of the proposed device was evaluated in terms of average thermal resistance R eq as reported by several authors in the literature [27][28][29][30]:…”

The aim of the present work is to develop and test an innovative cooling system for the thermal management of batteries for electric vehicles (EVs). At present, the technology most used for electric propulsion is based on lithium-ion cells. The power supply unit must often deliver a large amount of power in a short time, forcing the batteries to produce a considerable amount of heat. This leads to a high working temperature that can cause a sharp decrease in the battery performance or even a malfunction. Moreover, their working outside of the prescribed temperature range (20–40 °C) or with a significant temperature gradient across the battery meaningfully accelerates their aging or breakage. In this case, a battery thermal management system (BTMS) is necessary to allow the batteries to work as efficiently as possible. In the present work, a pulsating heat pipe with a three-dimensional structure is proposed as cooling technology for a battery pack. At first the performance of the proposed PHP is evaluated in a dedicated experimental setup under different boundary conditions and a wide spectrum of power input values. Then the PHP is tested by applying, as load at the evaporator section, heat power distribution corresponding to three different discharging processes of a battery. These tests, directly referring to an applicative case, show that the proposed 3D PHP has an optimal cooling ability and the possibility to offer a powerful solution for electrical battery thermal management.

With increasing global demands for energy (especially in developing countries), energy production will increase, the wasted energy will increase, and the emission and pollution will increase also. That makes the researchers focus on recovering the wasted heat and enhancing the recovery devices to improve the energy-saving amount. Heat pipe technology is one of the promising methods of transfer heat efficiently between two species. There are three common types of heat pipe; conventional heat pipe, thermosyphon, and oscillating heat pipe. Each type contains three sections: evaporator, adiabatic, and condenser section. The heat pipe as a heat exchanger was investigated and experimentally used by many authors to recover the wasted energy in many engineering applications.

Experimental and Numerical Study of Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger with Individually Finned Heat Pipes

The present study is devoted to the modeling, design, and experimental study of a heat pipe heat exchanger utilized as a recuperator in small air conditioning systems (airflow ≈ 300–500 m3/h), comprised of individually finned heat pipes. A thermal heat pipe heat exchanger model was developed, based on available correlations. Based on the previous experimental works of authors, refrigerant R404A was recognized as the best working fluid with a 20% heat pipe filling ratio. An engineering analysis of parametric calculations performed with the aid of the computational model concluded 20 rows of finned heat pipes in the staggered arrangement as a guarantee of stable heat exchanger effectiveness ≈ 60%. The optimization of the overall cost function by the “brute-force” method has backed up the choice of the best heat exchanger parameters. The 0.05 m traversal (finned pipes in contact with each other) and 0.062 m longitudinal distance were optimized to maximize effectiveness (up to 66%) and minimize pressure drop (less than 150 Pa). The designed heat exchanger was constructed and tested on the experimental rig. The experimental data yielded a good level of agreement with the model—relative difference within 10%.
