Sino-european energy storage water cooling plate design

What is the cooling plate design for a battery module?

The cooling plate design is proposed and evaluated for a battery module composed of six battery cells in this work. Two types of the cooling plate arrangement are proposed. In addition, three commonly used channel structures (single-channel, S-shaped channel and small channels) are investigated to evaluate the cooling plate performance.

Where are the cooling plates located?

In this study, the cooling plates may be located in various places, as shown in Fig. 1. In Design A, the cooling plate is arranged at thebottom of the battery module. While in Design B, two cooling plates sandwiching the battery module from two sides.

Who designed and manufactured the cooling plates with S-shaped channels?

Cao et al. designed and manufactured the cooling plates with the S-typed channels Various experiments and simulations are carried out for a number of the inlets and outlets of the S-shaped channels, as well as for different channel numbers and different flow directions.

What is a cooling plate?

Cooling plates play a pivotal role in ensuring the efficiency, safety, and longevity of high-power battery systems. However, the manufacturing process of these components is intricate, involving multiple advanced techniques to meet the specific requirements of different applications.

What is the efficiency of a cooling plate?

Here, the efficiency of the cooling plate refers to theratio of heat transfer intensity to the flow resistance, which is based on the idea of taking the cooling plates and battery module as a heat exchanger.

What are the different types of cooling plate arrangement?

Two types of the cooling plate arrangement are proposed. In addition, three commonly used channel structures (single-channel, S-shaped channel and small channels) are investigated to evaluate the cooling plate performance. Each design discussed and compared in details.
