What is a liquid based cold plate?

For a liquid-based cold plate, the primary goal is to maximize the heat transfer rate and minimize the flow resistance through optimizing the channel structure. In addition, thermal uniformity is another key factor, which cannot be neglected for battery thermal management.

How can liquid cooled plates improve the performance of BTMS?

From the above literature, it can be found that the design of liquid cooled plates in recent years mainly focuses on the improvement of channel geometric parameters, which improves the cooling performance of BTMS by disturbing the thermal boundary along the flow direction . But it also leads to an increase in pump power.

Why is a cooling plate important in EVs?

It has been widely adopted in EVs by automotive companies . The cooling plate is an important guarantee for the performance of liquid-cooling thermal management systems. Huo investigated the influence of microchannel number, flow direction, and inlet flow rate on the heat transfer performance.

What is the temperature distribution between a battery and a cooling plate?

Temperature distribution of the contact surface between the battery and the cooling plate. Fig. 11 (a) (b) illustrate the temperature variation of the coolant flow direction (X-axis) at the end of discharge. It can be observed that the temperature rise of the coolant increases at the groove end.

What is the difference between reference cold plate and VHTP cooling plate?

6)Compared to the reference cold plate, the optimized VHTP cooling plate cannot quickly dissipate the heat accumulation on the battery surface in the grooves at a mass flow rate of 0.005 kg/s, leading to an increase in the maximum temperature of the battery surface at higher flow rates (0.01 kg/s).

What is a variable heat generation QH of cold plate?

Nevertheless, it remains challenging to accurately characterize the complex physical information in TO model. As a result, this model introduces a variable heat generation QH of cold plate, which is analogous to the heat dissipated by fluid at steady-state.
