Abstract

This paper proposes a method of improving cooling efficiency by applying a Peltier Element to a heat pipe of an air-cooled cooling system of a Battery Thermal Management System for high-speed cooling of a vehicle battery cell. In addition, when the temperature sensor detects the heat generation of the battery cell, the Peltier Element and cooler can be operated to quickly reduce the temperature of the cell. For optimal thermal management, we built an ATmega128A-based Battery Thermal Management System and used KiCAD tool to model and design the cooling system structure. Finally, the experiment verified the high efficiency improvement of cooling performance by comparing the difference between cooling efficiency and cooling performance at room temperature over time for vehicles adopting the existing air cooling method.
