Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery heat dissipation, and in particular to a liquid cooling heat dissipation device applied to electric energy storage. Background Art

[0002] Energy storage batteries are devices specifically designed to store electrical energy. They can be charged when there is excess electricity and released when needed, improving energy efficiency, promoting the integration of renewable energy, and enhancing grid stability. Therefore, energy storage batteries play a key role in modern energy systems. Energy storage batteries generate a large amount of heat when charging or discharging. This, combined with the tight spacing of the batteries, can cause the temperature within the battery pack to rise rapidly. The ambient temperature of the energy storage battery, as well as the battery's own temperature, directly affects its normal operation and cycle life, and can even pose a safety hazard. Therefore, the heat dissipation of the energy storage system is a key factor in determining its performance, safety, and lifespan.

[0003] The mainstream heat dissipation methods for energy storage batteries are air cooling and liquid cooling. Air cooling mainly relies on air supply components such as cooling fans, but fans and other components are large in size and are often greatly restricted when used. Compared with air cooling, liquid cooling has higher applicability in battery heat dissipation. Liquid cooling mostly uses a cooling plate fitted to the battery for heat dissipation. The existing liquid cooling solution usually arranges the cooling plate at the bottom of the battery. Due to the small contact area between the two, the heat dissipation effect is not ideal, and due to the unreasonable arrangement of the cooling pipes in the cooling plate, it is easy to cause uneven heat dissipation of the battery module, resulting in local overheating.
