Abstract

Internal combustion engines (ICEs) are largely dependent on fossil fuels, and both the risk of depletion of fossil fuels and the harmful exhaust emissions emitted by ICEs have led researchers to become interested in electric vehicles (EVs). As the EV industry develops day by day, battery thermal management systems (BTMS) have become indispensable in solving the high-temperature problem of batteries, which are the most important component of EVs. The cost and reliability of electric vehicles are affected by parameters such as the life cycle, capacity, charging time, durability, and warranty cost of the battery pack used. The heat produced in the battery pack is removed by gas or liquid cooling in active cooling, and by phase change materials (PCM) in passive cooling. The high energy storage density of PCMs and the fact that there is no need for fan or pump power in cooling using PCMs are some of the reasons why PCMs are preferred for BTMSs. In this study, a battery pack consisting of 18 lithium-ion batteries, 6 in series and 3 in parallel, was first charged and discharged without any cooling system and then with the addition of PCM at a current strength of 1C, and the effect of the BTMS was examined. It has been observed that the BTMS has a positive effect of approximately 8% for charging experiments and 23% for discharge experiments in terms of the maximum temperature value in the battery pack.
