Abstract

Bionic channel liquid cooling plates (BC-LCPs) show high heat dissipation performance in battery thermal management system (BTMS), but suffer from the poor temperature-equalizing ability. Herein, a BTMS with novel BC-LCPs and differentiated velocity distribution strategy is proposed to overcome the low temperature uniformity, and balance the cooling performance and power consumption. The BC-LCPs are firstly designed by precisely tailoring the series cobweb channels inspired by the bionic structures in the nature. Through systematic optimization combining single factor analysis with orthogonal test and complementary test, differentiated velocities (vI and vII) of 0.20 and 0.46 m∙s−1 are adopted, respectively. Ultimately, the LC system demonstrates exceptional cooling performance while maintaining lower energy consumption. For example, with a discharge rate of 3C and an environment temperature of 50 °C, the temperature and temperature difference of the battery pack are controlled synergistically below 30.9 and 4.47 °C, respectively. At the same time, the Ptotal can reach as low as 0.202 W, which is reduced by 42.0 % compared to the case with uniform velocity strategy.
