Liquid cooling solution for power battery

Power battery is the power source that provides power for tools. It mainly refers to the battery that provides power for electric cars, electric trains, electric bicycles and golf carts.

There are many types of power batteries, suitable for different scenarios. Either way, the heat will continue to heat up in the working condition, which is a test for the cooling system. In particular, with the rapid development of electric vehicles, there are more and more long range and efficient batteries, and cooling is always a key technology. In recent years, water cooling technology, also known as liquid cooling technology, began to be introduced.
So what is power battery liquid cooling?

The typical liquid cooling system of power battery must have the following components: water cooling block, circulating liquid, pump, pipe, water tank heat exchanger. A water-cooling block is a metal block made of copper or aluminum with a water channel inside that contacts the battery and absorbs its heat. The circulating liquid is circulated through the pipe by the pump. The circulating liquid that absorbs the heat of the battery will flow away from the water cooler, and the new low-temperature circulating liquid will continue to absorb the heat of the battery.The water pipe connects the pump, water cooling block and water tank. Its function is to circulate circulating liquid in a closed channel without leakage, so that the liquid cooling system can work normally. The water tank is used to store circulating fluid, and the heat exchanger is a finer-like device, in which the circulating fluid transfers heat to a radiator with a large surface area, and the fan on the heat sink carries the heat into the air.

The essence of liquid cooling is the same as that of air cooling, except that liquid cooling USES circulating liquid to transfer the heat of the battery from the water cooling block to the heat exchanger and then gives out, replacing the homogeneous metal or heat pipe of air cooling, and the heat exchanger is almost a copy of air cooling heat sink. The liquid cooling system has two major features: balanced battery heat and low noise work. Due to the heat capacity of the water is very big, so that can absorb a lot of heat and keep the temperature not obvious change, the temperature of the surface cells in the system can get good control, emergency operation will not cause the battery internal temperature instant changes significantly, because of the heat exchanger surface area is large, so only need low speed fan for heat dissipation can play a good effect, so most of liquid-cooled collocation fan rotational speed is low, in addition, the water pump working noise generally is not very obvious, so the whole cooling system compared with air cooling system was very quiet.
