Structure of liquid cooling system for energy storage equipment

Can liquid cooling system reduce peak temperature and temperature inconsistency?

The simulation results show that the liquid cooling system can significantly reduce the peak temperature and temperature inconsistency in the ESS; the ambient temperature and coolant flow rate of the liquid cooling system are found to have important influence on the ESS thermal behavior.

Does ambient temperature affect the cooling performance of liquid-cooling systems?

In the actual operation, the ambient temperature in LIB ESS may affect the heat dissipation of the LIB modules. Consequently, it is necessary to study the effect of ambient temperature on the cooling performance of the liquid-cooling system.

What is the maximum temperature rise of a liquid cooling system?

With the liquid-cooling system on, from the initial temperature, the maximum temperature rise of the LIBs is 2 K at the end of the charging process and 2.2 K at the end of the discharging process compared with the initial temperature.

Does liquid-cooling reduce the temperature rise of battery modules?

Under the conditions set for this simulation, it can be seen that the liquid-cooling system can reduce the temperature rise of the battery modules by 1.6 K and 0.8 K at the end of charging and discharging processes, respectively. Fig. 15.

How does a thermoelectric cooler work?

Thermoelectric coolers serve a cooling capacity spectrum from approximately 10 to 400 Watts, and can cool by removing heat from control sources through convection, conduction, or liquid means. Thermoelectric devices operate using DC power, leaving them less vulnerable to the black-outs and brown-outs that can impact other types of cooling systems.

What is liquid cooling BTMS?

The liquid-cooling BTMS consists of pumps, air conditioner, pipes, valves and cooling plates mounted on the sides or bottom of the battery modules. The temperature of the battery modules during charging and discharging processes is experimentally tested. A full-scale thermal-fluidic model of the ESS prototype is established.
