Abstract

In order to ensure the safety and extend the lifecycle of lithium-ion power batteries in electric vehicles, a battery thermal management system based on minichannel liquid cooling is proposed to cool rectangular lithium-ion batteries, and a three-dimensional cooling system model is established. The effects of the number of channels, the thickness of heat conducting silicone grease and the thermal conductivity of the battery itself on the temperature rise and voltage drop changes during the discharge process of the battery are studied. The results show that the maximum temperature of the battery decreases with the increase of the number of channels, and the voltage drop inside the channel increases with the increase of the number of channels. The maximum temperature of the battery increases with the increase of the thickness of the thermal grease, but the increase is only 1.26 K. The maximum temperature and local temperature difference of the battery change significantly with the change of the thickness of the battery and its own thermal conductivity. The simulation results will be beneficial to the design of a battery thermal management system based on minichannel liquid cooling.
