Abstract

Transient thermal analysis of a prismatic Li-ion cell using internal cooling method has been carried out to introduce a novel method of Lithium Ion (Li-ion) battery pack thermal management. To serve this aim a three dimensional numerical simulation is done and results compared with those of for external cooling. Water and liquid electrolyte have been utilized as coolants for external and internal cooling, respectively. The effects of the two methods of cooling were studied on decreasing the temperature inside the battery and also temperature uniformity. The results indicated that at the same pumping power, using internal cooling not only decreases the bulk temperature inside the battery more than external cooling, but also decreases the standard deviation of the temperature field inside the battery significantly.
