摘要:

为了有效提升圆柱形锂电池的温度均匀性,本文经过深入探索和创新,提出了一种独特的蜂窝形叉状流道冷板。通过运用数值模拟方法构建了基于蜂窝形叉状流道冷板的圆柱形锂电池组冷却散热模型。在此模型基础上,分别探究了冷却液温度以及流道分支角度这两个关键因素对圆柱形锂电池组冷却效果的影响。同时,为了更好地评估其性能,将其与蜂窝形蛇形流道冷板和蛇形流道平面冷板进行对比。结果表明,蜂窝形叉状流道冷板可以应用于冷却液温度过高的工况,降低电池组的最大温差。流道分支角度对电池组的最高温度影响很小,有利于对电池组的设计。此外,与蜂窝形蛇形流道冷板和蛇形流道平面冷板的冷却散热性能相比,采用蜂窝形叉状流道冷板冷却能够大幅降低电池组的最高温度和最大温差,降低能量损耗。蜂窝形叉状流道冷板可以增强对圆柱形锂电池正负极发热区域的冷却,显著降低电池组最高温度及最大温差,为探索散热性能好、能耗更低的电池组热管理系统提供了一种解决方案。

Abstract:

To effectively enhance the temperature uniformity of cylindrical lithium-ion batteries, this study proposes an innovative honeycomb-branching channel cold plate. A numerical simulation method was used to develop a cooling model for cylindrical lithium-ion battery packs, incorporating this unique cold plate design. The study focused on two critical factors affecting cooling performance: coolant temperature and channel branch angle. Performance comparisons were also made with two other designs, the honeycomb-serpentine channel cold plate and the planar serpentine channel cold plate, for a comprehensive evaluation. Results demonstrated that the honeycomb-branching channel cold plate effectively minimized the maximum temperature difference within the battery pack, especially under high coolant temperature conditions. The branch angle of the channels was found to weakly affect the peak temperature of the battery pack, offering flexibility in design options. Furthermore, compared to the honeycomb-serpentine and planar serpentine channel cold plates, the honeycomb-branching channel cold plate significantly lowered both the peak temperature and the maximum temperature difference of the battery pack, all while reducing energy consumption. This design proved especially effective in cooling high heat generation regions within the battery electrodes, making it a promising solution for thermal management systems seeking improved cooling performance and energy performance.
