“…What is more, the cooling efficiency of BTMS was improved by incorporating an air flow channel. In 2021, Mohammed et al [ 130 ] also numerically discussed the compromise between air flow intensity and multiple PCM distributions. For one point, the airflow rate had no obvious effect in controlling the temperature rise of battery pack at early discharge period, but gradually ameliorated as the process of discharge.…”

The performance of lithium‐ion batteries is quite dependent on temperature and a series of investigations on the battery thermal management system (BTMS) have been reported during the past decades. Herein, the recent developments of BTMS are thoroughly summarized. First, the thermal characteristics of the battery caused by different temperature conditions and temperature nonuniformity are described. Then, the thermal models, including electro‐thermal coupled model and electrochemical–thermal coupled model are briefly presented. Subsequently, various traditional strategies like air cooling, liquid cooling, phase change material (PCM) cooling, and heat pipe cooling are elaborated. With the development of battery technology, BTMS based on a single strategy alone cannot meet the growth of thermal requirements, especially under dynamic and high‐power energy conditions. Hence, a hybrid BTMS that integrates two or more cooling strategies begins to be studied and provide a feasible solution for the problem. The related studies on hybrid BTMS are also systematically reviewed from the perspective of combinations, such as air–PCM, liquid–PCM, heat pipe–PCM, and other hybrid strategies. Besides, the current research on battery preheating strategies is also summarized. Finally, insufficient present studies are pointed out, aiming to provide comprehensive guidance toward the development of battery thermal management.

“…Implementing multi-temperature control systems is crucial for maintaining high efficiency in various critical domains such as goods transportation 1 , cold chain logistics 2 – 4 , battery thermal management 5 , building environment 6 , and thermal energy storage 7 – 11 . Cutting-edge technologies, utilizing multiple phase-change materials (PCMs) as heat/cold sources with advantages in energy storage and mobility, have considerable potential in achieving this aim by controlling one zone per PCM 4 , 5 , 8 – 11 . A number of optimization studies 5 – 11 have underlined the significance of not only examining the performance of the heat and cold sources in isolation but also scrutinizing system design parameters.…”

The transportation of essential items, such as food and vaccines, often requires adaptive multi-temperature control to maintain high safety and efficiency. While existing methods utilizing phase change materials have shown promise, challenges related to heat transfer and materials’ physicochemical properties remain. In this study, we present an adaptive multi-temperature control system using liquid-solid phase transitions to achieve highly effective thermal management using a pair of heat and cold sources. By leveraging the properties of stearic acid and distilled water, we fabricated a multi-temperature maintenance container and demonstrated temperature variations of only 0.14-2.05% over a two-hour period, underscoring the efficacy of our approach. Our findings offer a practical solution to address critical challenges in reliable transportation of goods, with potential implications for various fields in physical, engineering, and life sciences.

“…Thermal performances of Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles (EVs) strongly depend on the operating temperatures of batteries such that the temperature of a battery cell should be within 20-55 °C with less than 5 °C of the temperature difference across the cell [1,2]. As a result, using effective thermal management systems (TMSs) is necessary to maintain the temperature of LIBs within the safe operational conditions.…”

Heat transfer and pumping power of water-cooled thermal management systems (TMSs) for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles (EVs) are investigated through a three-dimensional computational approach. TMSs are cylindrical shells that cover LIBs. Water flows through the shell and removes heat from LIBs. The focus of this study is to provide practical insights on the effects of number of inlets on the thermal performance and pumping power of TMSs. Two TMSs with one and four inlets at the top of the TMS's case are considered. Both TMSs include one outlet, which is located at the bottom of the case. The thermal performance of individual TMSs is evaluated by the maximum temperature of the battery cell and the temperature difference across the cell. The thermal performances are described based on the pumping power. Simulations are performed at different flow rates within a laminar regime. Results indicate that both TMSs provide safe operational temperatures for LIBs. However, compared to the one-inlet design, the four-inlet TMS archives the same thermal performance but at a lower pumping power. The lower pumping power is due to lower pressure drop in the four-inlet TMS resulting from flowing water with lower flow rate at individual inlets, and through a shorter path from individual inlets to the outlet, compared with the one-inlet TMS. Minimizing pumping power without any penalty in the thermal performance is significantly beneficial, especially when the TMS is used for a pack of LIBs in EVs.
