“…Chen et al compared different cooling systems for Li-ion batteries. 5 According to these studies, BTMS were divided into 3 categories based on air cooling, [6][7][8][9] liquid cooling, [10][11][12] and phase change materials (PCMs) [13][14][15][16] cooling system. Air and liquid cooling systems can be active or passive while PCM cooling systems are generally passive.…”

Summary To achieve safe, long lifetime, and high‐performance lithium‐ion batteries, a battery thermal management system (BTMS) is indispensable. This is especially required for enabling fast charging‐discharging and in aggressive operating conditions. In this research, a new type of battery cooling system based on thermal silica plates has been designed for prismatic lithium‐ion batteries. Experimental and simulations are combined to investigate the cooling capability of the BTMS associated to different number of cooling channels, flow rates, and flow directions while at different discharge C‐rates. Results show that the maximum temperature reached within the battery decreases as the amount of thermal silica plates and liquid channels increases. The flow direction had no significant influence on the cooling capability. While the performance obviously improves with the increase in inlet flow rate, after a certain threshold, the gain reduces strongly so that it does not anymore justify the higher energy cost. Discharged at 3 C‐rate, an inlet flow rate of 0.1 m/s was sufficient to efficiently cool down the system; discharged at 5 C‐rate, the optimum inlet flow rate was 0.25 m/s. Simulations could accurately reproduce experimental results, allowing for an efficient design of the liquid‐cooled BTMS.

“…For indoor conditions of 24 h forced convection and 24 h natural convection, the effective thermal protection periods were h and 4.7 h, respectively, and the heat releasing periods were 2.8 h and 3.8 h, respectively. Research investigations on shape-stabilized PCM with aluminium honeycomb board were also conducted by Lai and Hokoi[69] and Xie et al[70], reporting an enhanced thermal conductivity of 2.08 W/m.K and stress tolerance limit promoted by 25.2%.…”

Latent heat thermal energy storage is an attractive technique as it can provide higher energy storage density than conventional heat energy storage systems and has the capability to store heat of fusion at a constant (or a near constant) temperature corresponding to the phase transition temperature of the phase change material (PCM). This paper provides a state-of-theart review on phase change materials (PCMs) and their applications for heating, cooling and electricity generation according to their working temperature ranges from (-20℃ to +200℃). Four working temperature ranges are considered in this review: 1) the low temperature range from (-20℃ to +5℃) where the PCMs are typically used for domestic and commercial refrigeration; 2) the medium low temperature range from (+5℃ to +40℃) where the PCMs are typically applied for heating and cooling applications in buildings; 3) the medium temperature range for solar based heating, hot water and electronic applications from (+40℃ to +80℃); and 4) the high temperature range from (+80℃ to +200℃) for absorption cooling, waste heat recovery and electricity generation. Different types of phase change materials applied to each temperature range are reviewed and discussed, in terms of the performance, heat transfer enhancement technique, environmental impact and economic analysis. The review shows that, energy saving of up to 12% can be achieved and a reduction of cooling load of up to 80% can be obtained by PCMs in the low to medium-low temperature range. PCM storage for heating applications can improve operation efficiency from 26% to 66%, depending on specific applications. Solar thermal direct steam generation (DSG) is the most common electricity generation application coupled with PCM storage systems in the high temperature range, due to the capability of PCMs to store and deliver energy at a given constant temperature. The recommendations for future research are also presented which provide insights about where the current research is heading and highlights the challenges that remain to be resolved.

Electric vehicles equipped with lithium-ion batteries face a huge challenge, and the fact that battery life is very much affected by the temperature conditions of their operating environment, the heat reduces battery life cycle and time and increases the likelihood of thermal degradation and explosion. This problem has forced engineers to cool the battery. The methods used to cool the battery includes a cool water method (passing water or a dielectric fluid from the battery pack), cooling air (blowing air into the battery compartment by the fan), using a refrigeration system (such as cooling screens), and the use of phase-change material (PCM). In this research after reviewing and referring to valid authorities, it was found that PCMs are superior to all three other cooling systems because the airconditioning system is not very desirable due to the high-temperature gradient between the battery cells. Also, cooling and refrigeration systems with refrigerant gases will also cost a very high cost on the electric car. The results of the studies showed that the cooling the battery using the PCM creates a similar temperature profile between the batteries in the battery pack, the temperature gradient is much smaller than the air cooler and cool water, and the final cost will be much lower. Also, it performs more efficiently in high-speed road dynamics and increases the battery life of an electric car or electric hybrid.
