The cooling is done by a battery thermal management system (BTMS). Cooling the Battery Pack. A variety of methods have been employed to keep an EV traction battery pack within acceptable temperature limits. One of the early EVs of the modern era was the Nissan LEAF. This vehicle used air to cool its battery pack.
The maximum temperature of the battery pack is always found in the middle cells of the pack; however, in traditional air-cooling directions, the middle cells of the battery pack do not receive optimal cooling. Therefore, this paper aims to enhance the efficiency of the air-cooling system by altering the direction of air cooling.
Figure 1 a demonstrates that the air cooled the whole battery pack from the front side of the battery pack, while Figure 1 b provides a 90° turn, in which the air touched the side faces of the battery pack. The prismatic battery cells are connected in series surrounded by the air domain.
A lot of research has been conducted, forcing on developing new batteries [10, 11] and improving battery safety [12, 13], but the cooling system is still needed for the overall battery system. Generally, thermal runaway occurs when the heat losses to the environment do not offset the heat generated by exothermic reactions.
From the extensive research conducted on air cooling and indirect liquid cooling for battery thermal management in EVs, it is observed that these commercial cooling techniques could not promise improved thermal management for future, high-capacity battery systems despite several modifications in design/structure and coolant type.
In the battery cooling system, early research used a combination of heat pipes and air cooling. The heat pipe coupled with air cooling can improve the insufficient heat dissipation under air cooling conditions [158, 159, 160, 161], which proves that it can achieve a good heat dissipation effect for the power battery.
The choice of a battery cooling system depends on factors such as the type of battery, operational conditions, size and weight constraints, and cost considerations. Many electric vehicles and energy storage systems use a combination of these cooling methods to optimize performance and reliability.
