Investigation on the Performance of Lithium-Ion Battery Thermal Management

Abstract

Li-ion batteries generate significant heat during operation, which leads to an increase in temperature and, consequently, a reduction in the battery's efficiency and lifespan. In this study, different cooling methods are simulated for the thermal management of the battery. The cooling using air and liquids is investigated with laminar flow at varying velocities. Results indicated that the use of water/glycol is more effective than air and mineral oil.
