Numerical investigation on cooling cylindrical lithium-ion-battery
The cutting-edge cooling system is made to lower the operating temperatures of tested devices, including lithium-ion batteries, by removing heat from cylindrical battery cells.
Cylindrical lithium-ion battery cells are a type of rechargeable battery commonly used in a wide range of electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems. They are characterized by their cylindrical shape, standardized sizes, and high energy density, making them versatile and suitable for various applications.
For instance, “65” represents a height of 65mm. Fifth Digit: The fifth digit indicates the cylindrical shape of the cell. Typically, it's “0” for cylindrical cells. By following this naming convention, we can easily identify the size and shape of cylindrical lithium-ion battery cells.
Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular type of battery, specifically those consisting of a LiFePO4 chemistry. In cylindrical cells, the internal components include the cathode, anode, separator, and current collectors, which are spirally wound .
At present, cylindrical and square batteries are widely used in battery thermal management systems. There is little research on liquid-cooled BTMS for cylindrical batteries because they have a curved surface compared to square batteries and it is more challenging to install heat exchangers on their surface.
Because cylindrical batteries have curved surfaces, there is still a large gap in the case of full contact, which limits the spread of thermal runaway between batteries to a certain extent. Therefore, the cylindrical battery has its advantages in thermal management system security.
To fill the above research gaps, this study proposes a novel hybrid cooling system applicable to high energy density 21,700 cylindrical lithium-ion battery packs. The system is collaboratively composed of a wavy liquid cooling plate and a sleeve-type composite PCM.
