초록

리튬 이온 배터리는 높은 에너지 밀도와 안정적인 충전/방전 특성을 내재하고 있어 하이드리드 및 전기자동차에 보편적으로 사용된다. 리튬 이온 배터리의 효율은 배터리 자체의 온도 특성에 직접적인 영향을 받으므로, 열을 효율적으로 냉각하는 기술이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 수냉식 배터리 냉각 시스템의 냉각 성능과 펌프 소모동력에 관한 전산유체해석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 배터리 셀의 냉각수 유량 및 냉각 채널의 특성에 따른 냉각 성능을 수치적으로 예측하였다. 이를 바탕으로 250개 배터리 셀을 기준으로 유량 및 차압에 의한 소모동력을 계산하였다. 이러한 연구는 차세대 하이브리드 및 전기자동차의 시간에 따른 배터리의 온도 변화 및 충/방전 효율 최적화 기술에 적용할 수 있는 기초 연구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Lithium-ion batteries are commonly employed in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and achieving high energy density in the battery has been one of the most critical issues in the automotive industry. Because liquid cooling containing antifreeze is important in automotive batteries to enable cold starts, an effective geometric configuration for high-cooling performance should be carefully investigated. Battery cooling with antifreeze has also been considered to realize successful cold starts. In this article, we theoretically investigate a specific property of an antifreeze cooling battery system, and we perform numerical modeling to satisfy the required thermal specifications. Because a typical battery system in HEVs consists of multiple stacked battery cells, the cooling performance is determined mainly by the special properties of antifreeze in the coolant passage, which dissipates heat generated from the battery cells. We propose that the required cooling performance can be realized by performing numerical simulations of different geometric configurations for battery cooling. Furthermore, we perform a theoretical analysis as a design guideline to optimize the cooling performance with minimum power consumption by the cooling pump.
