Liquid immersion cooling energy storage method

Does liquid air energy storage improve data-center immersion cooling?

A mathematical model of data-center immersion cooling using liquid air energy storage is developed to investigate its thermodynamic and economic performance. Furthermore, the genetic algorithm is utilized to maximize the cost effectiveness of a liquid air-based cooling system taking the time-varying cooling demand into account.

What is liquid immersion cooling?

In liquid immersion cooling, the batteries are completely submerged in a dielectric liquid that absorbs and dissipates heat through natural convection or forced circulation . This technique has been successfully applied to high-performance computing systems, but its potential for battery cooling is still underexplored.

Is immersion cooling an effective method for thermal management of LIBS?

In summary, immersion cooling is an effective method for the thermal management of LIBs because it has strong heat dissipation capabilities and can reduce temperature increases under a high C-rate discharge. However, research on immersion cooling is still in its early stages and has not been widely conducted.

What is the liquid immersion cooling method used in this project?

The liquid immersion cooling method used in this project involved a radiator, a pump, and a coolant, which was de-ionized water as shown in Fig. 2. The coolant was used to cool 6 × 5 18,650 Li-ion batteries, each with a capacity of 2000mAh and a voltage of 3.7V. The pump was placed in a reservoir where the coolant was stored.

How does immersion cooling work?

Immersion cooling reduces peak battery temperatures up to 75.6 % at higher discharge rates. Novel droplet immersion cooling lowers peak temperatures by an additional 6 %. Single-phase immersion cooling maintains low temperatures during high-rate charging and discharging. Uniform temperature distribution enhances battery safety and cycle life.

What is liquid immersion cooling for batteries?

Liquid immersion cooling for batteries entails immersing the battery cells or the complete battery pack in a non-conductive coolant liquid, typically a mineral oil or a synthetic fluid.
