Abstract

In order to study the heat dissipating performance of the battery system, a heat transfer model of the battery pack includes phase change material coupled with heat pipe was established. The heat transfer performance of battery under different discharge rate and variable heat pipes was simulated in Fluent. The advantages and disadvantages of different combinations were evaluated by the analysis of the variation and distribution of temperature inner the battery. The results indicated that the slope of battery temperature increased with the increasing of discharge rate. The heat absorption of phase change material in phase-transition period was effective in keeping stable temperature of battery. The heat pipes were effective in the heat dissipation to keep the stable of temperature once they started to operate, and the increasing in the number of heat pipes augmented the ability of heat dissipation. The idea of phase change material coupled with heat pipe proposed an effective approach for the design of thermal management of power battery system.
