Abstract
Thermal Performance of Heat Pipe Array in Battery Thermal Management
Highlights
Lithium-ion battery is the promising energy storage equipment for electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles for its high energy density [1, 2]
The numerical computation results showed that heat pipe could more significantly enhance the heat transfer performance of the battery cooling system than the copper rod
The experiment studied by Wang et al [13] pointed out that the battery temperature can stay below 70 °C when the heat generation per cell is between 20 – 40 W
Summary
Lithium-ion battery is the promising energy storage equipment for electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles for its high energy density [1, 2]. The validity of the numerical models and grids used in this study was carefully checked and calibrated by comparing with experimental data in the literature Amounts of indicators such as temperature, heat flux, and Tehnički vjesnik 27, 2(2020), 423-428 pressure loss were extracted to characterize the heat performance of heat pipe cooling system. A simplified model without considering electro-chemical reactions is applied to present the heat generation of the battery, as well as the thermal properties of a multi-layered battery cell. This approach is well validated by comparisons with experimental and numerical studies and is applied in many pieces of literature [1, 9, 11, 15]. The thermal properties of copper were applied directly to the copper shell during this simulation because the heat transfer through the copper shell of the heat pipe is entirely conduction
