Visualization of Graphene Mineral Oil Immersion Cooling for Electric Vehicle Battery Temperature Analysis
1Mechanical and Mechatronics Systems Research Labs., Industrial Technology Research Institute, 195, Sec. 4, Chung Hsing Rd., Chutung, Hsinchu, Taiwan 310401, R.O.C.
ABSTRACT
As the heat generation power of the batteries increases with the improved performance of electric vehicles, effective thermal management is required. The overall temperature uniformity of the battery pack is important, and immersion cooling has become an important thermal solution, immersing the battery directly in the dielectric liquid. With the introduction of graphene, the thermal conductivity of the dielectric liquid increases significantly. In this study, the graphene at 100 nm and mass concentration of 0 to 0.5wt% in mineral oil is used. According to the numerical simulation analysis, the effect of battery temperature is simulated when the battery is charged and discharged at 1C, 2C, 3C and 4C. Furthermore, the visual test platform is used to shoot the experimental state and test temperature data, and test the liquid resistance to study the feasibility of graphene in immersion cooling.
