Abstract

Ensuring the lithium-ion batteries’ safety and performance poses a major challenge for electric vehicles. To address this challenge, a liquid immersion battery thermal management system utilizing a novel multi-inlet collaborative pulse control strategy is developed. Moreover, different cooling methods (cooling structures, immersion coolants and pulse control method) are numerically investigated to assess their impact. Compared with other structural schemes, the battery module using baffles with fish-like perforations for the 5-in and 5-out scheme demonstrates superior cooling capability while reducing external power consumption. Furthermore, the utilization of FC-3283 exhibits better comprehensive performance compared to AC-100 and mineral oil. Notably, in terms of pulse cooling, when the output ratio reaches 50 %, the battery pack temperature can not only be maintained within a reasonable range, but also the time-averaged pump power consumption decreases by 87.6 % compared to the bottom inlet and top outlet scheme. At the same average flow rate, the liquid immersion battery thermal management system with output ratio of 25 % is the optimal choice for the trade-off between cooling performance and flow resistance, and compared with the bottom inlet and top outlet scheme, the maximum temperature and maximum temperature difference decrease by 23.7 % and 13.9 %, respectively.
