How does a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery thermal management system reduce energy consumption?

When the ambient temperature is 0–40 °C, by controlling the coolant temperature and regulating the coolant flow rate, the liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery thermal management system significantly reduces energy consumption by 37.87 %. 1. Introduction

What is a liquid cooled battery thermal management system?

Liquid-cooled battery thermal management system generally uses water, glycol, and thermal oil with smaller viscosity and higher thermal conductivity as the cooling medium [23, 24]. Sheng et al. studied the influence of fluid flow direction, velocity, channel size and cooling medium on the heat distribution of the battery.

What is a liquid cooled thermal management system?

The liquid-cooled thermal management system adopts liquid fluid with higher thermal conductivity as the cooling medium, which can significantly improve the thermal management effect.

Can lithium-ion batteries be used as energy storage systems?

As electric vehicles (EVs) are gradually becoming the mainstream in the transportation sector, the number of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) retired from EVs grows continuously. Repurposing retired EV LIBs into energy storage systems (ESS) for electricity grid is an effective way to utilize them.
