Abstract

Air-cooled battery thermal management system (BTMS) is a widely adopted temperature control strategy for lithium-ion batteries. However, a battery pack with this type of BTMS typically suffers from high temperatures and large temperature differences (∆T). To address this issue, this study conducted an electro-thermal coupled model to optimize the flow channel structure for reducing the maximum temperature (T max ) and ∆T in a battery pack for a “J-type” air-cooled BTMS. The parameters required to predict battery heat generation were obtained from a single battery testing experiment. The flow and heat transfer model in a battery pack that had 24 18650 batteries was established by the Computational Fluid Dynamics software ANSYS Fluent 2020R2. The simulation results were validated by the measurement from the battery testing experiment. Using the proposed model, parameter analysis has been implemented. The flow channel structure was optimized in terms of the duct size, battery spacing, and battery arrangement for the air-cooled BTMS. The original BTMS was optimized to reduce T max and ∆T by 1.57 K and 0.80 K, respectively. This study may provide a valuable reference for designing air-cooled BTMS.
