Abstract
The traditional bottom liquid-cooling thermal management system (TMS) has poor cooling performance and is prone to causing significant temperature difference in the lithium-ion battery (LIB) module. In order to solve the above problems, this study takes the Z-shaped micro heat pipe array (MHPA) as the core heat transfer element and establishes a top liquid-cooling (TLC) TMS based on Z-shaped MHPA. The thermal management performance of the TLC TMS based on Z-shaped MHPA is analyzed by comparing it with the traditional bottom liquid-cooling TMS. Results show that under the conditions of 40 °C ambient temperature and 25 °C cold water inlet temperature, the bottom liquid-cooling TMS can no longer meet the thermal management requirements of the module at a 2C charge–discharge rate. In comparison, the TLC TMS based on Z-shaped MHPA can ensure the module's maximum temperature below 55 °C, and the battery and module level's temperature difference can be controlled below 4 °C under 3C charge–discharge rate. The TLC TMS based on Z-shaped MHPA can not only effectively delay the battery's temperature rise under high charge–discharge rate, but also significantly reduce the temperature difference; its thermal management performance is significantly better than the bottom liquid-cooling TMS.
