Recently, the safety of electric vehicles using lithium-ion batteries has received increased attention due to overheating. Cold plates can effectively enhance heat dissipation. However, given the defects of existing cold plates, such as complex structure and heavy weight, a simple cavity cold plate is designed. The effects of cold plate inlet and outlet sizes (d2 and Δd), mass flow rate of coolant (W), and the inlet and outlet position on cell's maximum temperature and temperature difference are analysed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the cold plate. Results show that the inlet and outlet sizes are positively correlated with the cell's maximum temperature. In addition, the cavity cold plate can satisfy the requirements of battery temperature difference by optimizing the inlet and outlet sizes and W. The cooling system of Model Z has better heat dissipation capacity than that of Model N. Conclusions obtained in the study have important reference for optimization of cavity cold plates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
