“…Researchers can use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to proceed with numerical simulations of cold plate indirect cooling systems based on refrigerant to predict refrigerant flow and temperature distribution, thus determining the optimal design and control strategies for the refrigeration system. − In addition, simulation has characteristics of timeliness and convenience, and it can be reproduced in time in the face of new structures and new ideas. The above-mentioned literature studies use simulation methods to simulate and analyze new structures and mixed cooling methods. − Figure shows the pipe layout and temperature distribution of an EV battery module refrigerant cooling system based on CFD simulation, using R134a and a transient VOF method . By optimization of the layout of the refrigeration system and the refrigerant flow, the battery temperature can be obviously reduced.…”

Battery thermal management (BTM) is crucial for the lifespan and safety of batteries. Refrigerant cooling is a novel cooling technique that is being used gradually. As the core fluid of refrigerant cooling, refrigerants need to possess excellent properties while meeting environmental requirements. This paper elucidates the current state of refrigerants (single refrigerants and mixed refrigerants), synchronously summarizing them from the perspectives of refrigerant properties and refrigerant cooling (immersion and cold plate indirect). It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of single and mixed refrigerants as well as the research and development in the vehicle thermal management system (TMS). The choice of refrigerant directly affects cooling performance, and research on vehicle air conditioning (AC) systems can indirectly guide the BTM. R1234yf and R152a can directly replace R134a, while although R744 has a strong heating capacity, it cannot directly replace R134a. Specific mixed refrigerants reduce the global warming potential (GWP) and flammability issues, thereby improving system efficiency. Additionally, immersion cooling controls the temperature through container pressure. Coordinated control strategies are crucial for indirect cold plate cooling, offering broad prospects for optimizing the cold plate design and intelligent control. The selection of refrigerant and the optimal design of the cooling method greatly improve the thermal performance of the battery. This may promote the good development of BTM.

“…By contrast, direct cooling systems can improve cooling performance by using refrigerants to cool the battery directly. Wang et al [150] designed and simulated a direct evaporative cooling battery thermal management system using the R134a refrigerant, and showed that it could significantly reduce the maximum battery temperature under 3C discharge conditions compared to natural convection cooling by air and liquid cooling. The study also evaluated the effects of initial refrigerant temperature, flow rate, saturation temperature, thermal conductivity, and latent heat on the battery thermal management system's performance.…”

The burgeoning electric vehicle industry has become a crucial player in tackling environmental pollution and addressing oil scarcity. As these vehicles continue to advance, effective thermal management systems are essential to ensure battery safety, optimize energy utilization, and prolong vehicle lifespan. This paper presents an exhaustive review of diverse thermal management approaches at both the component and system levels, focusing on electric vehicle air conditioning systems, battery thermal management systems, and motor thermal management systems. In each subsystem, an advanced heat transfer process with phase change is recommended to dissipate the heat or directly cool the target. Moreover, the review suggested that a comprehensive integration of AC systems, battery thermal management systems, and motor thermal management systems is inevitable and is expected to maximize energy utilization efficiency. The challenges and limitations of existing thermal management systems, including system integration, control algorithms, performance balance, and cost estimation, are discussed, along with potential avenues for future research. This paper is expected to serve as a valuable reference for forthcoming research.
