6 FAQs about [Energy storage side cold plate]
Are cold plates effective for battery thermal management systems (BTMS)?
Liquid cooling strategies such as cold plates have been widely employed as an effective approach for battery thermal management systems (BTMS) due to their high cooling capacity and low power consumption. The structural design of the cold plates is the key factor that directly determines the thermal performance of the liquid cooling system.
What is a cold plate in a battery system?
Cold plate is a widely used component in liquid-cooled battery systems for removing the heat generated during the charge–discharge process of battery packs. The cold plates can be installed either between the cells or on the lateral surfaces of the battery pack [24, 25].
Which type of cold plate is best for thermal management?
While the cold plate with Z-shaped channels has been the most popular for thermal management application, other geometric designs including U-shaped and mixed configuration (i.e., combining Z-shaped and U-shaped) have also been explored by a significant number of studies [43, 44, 45, 46].
Which cold plate has the best cooling performance?
It was found in their study that the cold plate with five branch channels has the best cooling performance while the cold plates with more than seven branch channels require greater pumping power without significant thermal improvement.
How to improve the cooling efficiency of a straight channel cold plate?
Qian et al. showed that the cooling efficiency of a straight channel cold plate can be improved by increasing the channel number. However, the improvement in the cooling performance becomes insignificant when the channel number exceeds five.
What is cold plate cooling?
Cold plate cooling involves a simple working principle in which plates absorb electric waste heat and they dissipate it through the flow paths using liquid cooling. This type of cooling system is far better than the air cooling system. Heat sinks and fans type space-consuming cooling systems can be replaced by cold plates.
