Thermal management and cooling solutions for batteries are widely discussed topics with the evolution to a more compact and increased-density battery configuration. A battery thermal-management system (BTMS) that maintains temperature uniformity is essential for the battery-management system (BMS).
In electric vehicles (EVs), wearable electronics, and large-scale energy storage installations, Battery Thermal Management Systems (BTMS) are crucial to battery performance, efficiency, and lifespan. This comprehensive analysis covers the latest BTMS advances and provides an overview of current methods and technologies.
To maintain the battery at its ideal working temperature, a battery thermal management system (BTMS) must carry out essential functions like heat dissipation through cooling, heat augmentation in the case of low temperatures, and facilitating appropriate ventilation for exhaust gases.
Conventional battery thermal management systems have basic temperature control capabilities for most conventional application scenarios.
Liquid cooling battery thermal management systems (LC-BTMS) are a very efficient approach for cooling batteries, especially in demanding applications like electric vehicles.
Since the heat generation in the battery is determined by the real-time operating conditions, the battery temperature is essentially controlled by the real-time heat dissipation conditions provided by the battery thermal management system.
