6 Frequently Asked Questions about “New energy batteries do not have liquid cooling”

Can direct liquid cooling improve EV battery performance?

Direct liquid cooling has the potential to achieve the desired battery performance under normal as well as extreme operating conditions. However, extensive research still needs to be executed to commercialize direct liquid cooling as an advanced battery thermal management technique in EVs.

Why is liquid cooling better suited for large battery packs?

Since liquids have higher thermal conductivity and are better at dissipating heat, liquid cooling technology is better suited for cooling large battery packs .

When should a battery be cooled?

They also recommended a delayed liquid cooling approach, suggesting that liquid flow should begin once the battery temperature reached 41 °C, effectively managing the maximum battery temperature while reducing the temperature differential by approximately 1 °C and conserving energy.

How does liquid cooling affect battery performance?

The liquid cooling strategy is only suitable for extreme scenarios (3C discharging at 35 °C). Low inlet temperatures and high flow rates can decrease the battery module's T max. However, the flow rate has a diminishing effect on the thermal performance when it surpasses 25 mL/min.

Does liquid cooling affect battery charging and discharging process?

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the impact of liquid cooling on the battery charging and discharging process. The results showed that during battery charging or rest periods, liquid cooling has the ability to significantly speed up the solidification of PCM.

How can liquid cooling improve battery thermal management systems?

The performance of liquid cooling methods is constrained by the low thermal conductivity of the coolants, especially under high charging and discharging conditions. To enhance the effectiveness of battery thermal management systems (BTMSs), it is crucial to utilize fluids with improved thermal conductivity.
