Abstract

The thermal properties of paraffin/graphite composite phase change materials for power nickel metal hydride batteries were experimentally investigated. Two different modes for heat dissipation were designed in this experimental study: air cooling and cooling with phase change materials. Paraffin/graphite composite phase change thermal energy storage materials were prepared and tested by differential scanning calorimetry. It appeared that the battery thermal management system with phase change materials had better performance than air cooling, especially when the scale of paraffin/graphite composite material approximates 4:1.
