Numerical Simulation of Cooling System of Battery Using Parameter Study

Abstract:

A hybrid power composed of fuel cell and MH-Ni battery has become a good strategy for HEV, but the battery cooling system can not be easily optimized because of many important parameters. In this study, the parameter studies have been carried out for checking the effects of the parameters. The candidated parameters in this study were the diameter of the outlets and the distance between the outlets. The analysis results show that the diameter and the distance have the effects expressed by a 2nd order function form. The analysis model and the results in this study make a basis for optimizing the battery cooling system.
