Abstract:

A thermoelectric-coupled liquid-cooling battery thermal-management system was designed to prolong the cycle life and endurance mileage of pure electric vehicle power batteries and improve the safety of the whole vehicle. An experimental test bench was built to analyze the thermal characteristics of the battery pack in the process of discharge and preheating. The heat dissipation performances of the battery pack were studied by changing the voltage, the flow rate, the coolant temperature, and the other parameters. The experimental results show that the maximum temperature of the battery is kept below 41 ℃ when the battery is charged and discharged by 1C to 2C cycle at 35 ℃. Compared with natural convection cooling and liquid cooling, the thermoelectric cooling system reduces by 10 ℃ and 7 ℃ respectively. The maximum temperature difference between single battery and battery pack is within 5 ℃ and 8 ℃ respectively, which always keeps the battery in the appropriate temperature range.
