This study aims to improve the performance of automotive battery thermal management systems (BTMS) to achieve more efficient heat dissipation and thus reduce hazards during driving. Firstly, the research parameters and properties of composite thermally conductive silicone materials are introduced. Secondly, the heating principle of the power battery, the structure and working principle of the new energy vehicle battery, and the related thermal management scheme are discussed. Finally, the research results are presented from the experimental test and controller design. In addition, to achieve the research goal, the composite thermally conductive silica gel plate (CSGP) material is studied in detail and parametrically analyzed, and the heating mechanism of the power battery is discussed in depth. The temperature characteristics after adding CSGP are experimentally tested, and the controller of the BTMS of the new energy vehicle is designed, including hardware circuits and software modules. The findings show that the temperature characteristics of the battery module have obvious limitations without CSGP. When the battery module operates at a 4C magnification, the temperature exceeds the safety threshold by 38.4%, with particular potential safety risks. Then, the maximum temperature of the battery module with CSGP can be controlled within 50 °C, and the temperature characteristics are prominently improved. Lastly, the controller of the BTMS is tested, and the results reveal that it has remarkable voltage recovery ability. According to the research results, the performance of automotive BTMS can be significantly improved, and better heat dissipation can be effectively achieved by adding CSGP. This helps reduce the hazards of driving. Moreover, the designed controller performs well in voltage recovery, providing solid theoretical support for further developing the CSGP battery management system.

As one of the most promising thermal management solutions, spray cooling has the advantages of high heat-transfer coefficient and maintaining a low temperature of the cooling surface. By summarizing the influential factors and practical applications of spray cooling, the current challenges and bottlenecks were indicated so as to prompt its potential applications in the future. Firstly, this paper reviewed the heat-transfer mechanism of spray cooling and found that spray cooling is more advantageous for heat dissipation in high-power electronic devices by comparing it with other cooling techniques. Secondly, the latest experimental studies on spray cooling were reviewed in detail, especially the effects of spray parameters, types of working fluid, surface modification, and environmental parameters on the performance of cooling system. Afterwards, the configuration and design of the spray cooling system, as well as its applications in the actual industry (data centers, hybrid electric vehicles, and so on) were enumerated and summarized. Finally, the scientific challenges and technical bottlenecks encountered in the theoretical research and industrial application of spray cooling technology were discussed, and the direction of future efforts were reasonably speculated.

“…Spray cooling, a promising cooling solution that uses a direct coolant and has applications on high-performance computers and data centers, aerospace and spacecraft, or hybrid electrical vehicles [26,27], has a 409.3% better heat transfer coefficient than forced air, according to an investigation on battery thermal management by Wu et al [28]. The disadvantages identified by Yin et al [26], which include the complexity of the nozzles structural design, long-term corrosion and blockage of the nozzles, and the complicated interrelationship between all parameters considered for the system, including spray parameters, working fluid type, surface modification, and environmental parameters to obtain a good system performance, all lead to the conclusion that the use of spray cooling in a vehicle ECU appears to be challenging.…”

The current paper aims to present a cooling concept for future centralized platforms of ECUs (Electronic Control Units) from the automotive industry that involves grouping multiple electronic devices into a single system and cooling them with forced convection dielectric coolant. The enhancement consists of replacing the inside air of the module with a dielectric coolant that has a higher thermal conductivity than air and employing an additional prototype system that aids in forced liquid cooling. To meet automotive requirements, the experiments were exposed to an ambient temperature of 85 °C. Temperature measurements on these solutions’ hot spots were compared to those on a thermal paste-only reference electronic module. This study used DFSS (Design for Six Sigma) techniques to determine the ideal pump flow rate, fan air flow rate, and liquid volume in the housing, leading to an optimization in heat dissipation. Finding a trustworthy transfer function that could forecast the impact of the crucial design parameters that had been found was the main goal. The electronics cooled by forced convection coolant improved heat dissipation by up to 60% when compared to the reference module. This demonstrates that the DoE (Design of Experiments) method, which is based on a limited number of measurements, can estimate the behavior of the ECU without the need for a more involved theoretical framework.
