Use of energy storage liquid cooling plate

Which material is used for liquid cooling plate?

Considering weight and thermal conductivity, aluminum is chosen as the material for the liquid cooling plate, and water is selected as the coolant material , with the thermal properties parameters provided in Table 4. Fig. 8. Temperature distribution diagram of the cell battery at the end of natural convection 3C charging.

How does a liquid cooled plate work?

The inlet and outlet channels converge at the center of the liquid-cooled plate and are connected to each other through two right-angle bend pipes for redirection. The liquid enters from the bottom of the cold plate and gradually flows from the outer edge of the cold plate towards the center.

Which type of liquid cooling plate is best?

For applications with high cooling requirements, the design of a liquid cooling plate with a serial channel configuration is more suitable. The parallel channel configuration has significant advantages in terms of energy consumption.

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 many different liquid cooling plate structures are there?

Through comprehensive analysis from multiple perspectives including cooling effect, energy consumption, and weight, four different liquid cooling plate structures are evaluated, and the optimal structure for current conditions is identified.

Which cooling plate is best for a battery module?

Using a liquid cooling plate with a spiral-shaped channel configuration offers the best thermal performance, with a maximum temperature of 31.1 °C and a maximum temperature difference of 4.8 °C. It is the only configuration under current conditions that can ensure a temperature difference within 5 °C throughout the battery module.
