Numerical optimization of a liquid cooling plate with double helix flow channel for lithium-ion battery
A liquid cooling system offers high thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity,making the liquid cooling plate is a crucial component within the system.The design and structural of the internal flow channels within the cooling plate directly influence the maximum temperature,temperature uniformity,and overall temperature consistency of the lithium-ion battery.To ensure that the maximum temperature and temperature difference of the battery remain within the safe operating range under the a 5C discharge rate and an ambient temperature of 299.15 K,this study designs a double-helix shaped flow channel for a liquid cooling plate based on a cosine function.The evaluation indexes include the battery's maximum temperature and temperature difference.Using Ansys Fluent finite element analysis software,the study investigates the effects of various parameters—such as function amplitude,inlet flow rates,function periods,and channel widths—on the heat dissipation performance of the cooling plate.The four influencing factors are then ranked in order of importance through orthogonal tests and range analysis.The results indicate that the inlet flow rate and runner function period significantly impact the maximum temperature,temperature uniformity,and temperature consistency of lithium-ion batteries.By increasing the inlet flow rate,runner width,and function period,the maximum temperature and temperature difference are reduced,leading to improved temperature uniformity.The function amplitude has the least effect on battery temperature.The optimal structure was determined to have a function amplitude of 25 mm,an inlet flow rate of 0.2 m/s,a period of 2,and a runner width of 5 mm.Compared to the initial structure,the optimized design reduced the battery pack's maximum temperature by 2.36 K and temperature difference by 1.27 K.
