Are cold plates effective for battery thermal management systems (BTMS)?

Liquid cooling strategies such as cold plates have been widely employed as an effective approach for battery thermal management systems (BTMS) due to their high cooling capacity and low power consumption. The structural design of the cold plates is the key factor that directly determines the thermal performance of the liquid cooling system.

What is a liquid cooled system?

A liquid cooled system is generally used in cases were large heat loads or high power densities need to be dissipated and air would require a very large flow rate. Water is one of the best heat transfer fluids due to its specific heat at typical temperatures for electronics cooling.

What are the parameters used to describe the performance of cold plate?

A parameter is used to describe the overall performance of the cold plate. Different liquid cooling battery thermal management systems are designed and compared. The effects of structural design and operating parameters on thermal performance are investigated.

What is a hybrid liquid cooling system?

A compact and lightweight hybrid liquid cooling system coupling with Z-type cold plates and PCM composite for battery thermal management. Energy 2023, 263. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef]

Which liquid cooling system is better?

It was found that the comprehensive heat transfer performance of the F2-type liquid cooling system was better. Zhao et al. [ 33] designed a liquid cooling plate with a honeycomb structure-HLCP and modeled it accordingly with the structural parameters of HLCP (number of inlets, thickness of HLCP) and coolant flow rate as variables.

What is a cold plate in a battery system?

Cold plate is a widely used component in liquid-cooled battery systems for removing the heat generated during the charge–discharge process of battery packs. The cold plates can be installed either between the cells or on the lateral surfaces of the battery pack [24, 25].
