Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of battery refrigeration, and in particular relates to a refrigeration system and a refrigeration method for a large-capacity battery pack. Background Art
[0002] At present, the main cooling methods for battery systems include air cooling, cold plate liquid cooling, cold plate direct cooling and immersion liquid cooling;
[0003] For example, the air cooling system uses a refrigerator to blow away the heat from the battery cell. Its advantages are simple structure and low cost, but the heat dissipation effect is poor, and the heat dissipation effect is even worse when the ambient temperature is high.
[0004] For example, cold plate liquid cooling uses direct contact between the battery cell and a cold plate filled with liquid. The heat of the battery cell is transferred to the liquid inside the cold plate through the cold plate, and the heat is taken away by liquid circulation. Its advantage is that the thermal conductivity of liquid is much higher than that of air, and the heat dissipation effect of liquid cooling is better than that of air cooling. However, there is a large temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the same battery cell, and the liquid cooling system has a complex structure and high cost.
[0005] For example, in cold plate direct cooling, the refrigerant absorbs heat by vaporizing the fluorine cold plate installed at the bottom of the battery cell, and quickly takes away the heat from the bottom of the battery cell. The advantage is that the heat dissipation rate is very high, but the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the same battery cell will increase, affecting the life of the battery cell.
[0006] Immersion liquid cooling is to immerse the battery cells directly in the coolant and remove the heat through the circulation of the coolant. Its advantage is that the battery cells are directly immersed in the insulating and heat-conductive coolant, and the high heat transfer coefficient and large specific heat capacity of the liquid are utilized to achieve good heat dissipation effect. At the same time, since the battery cells are immersed in the coolant, the temperature equalization effect of the battery cells is also good. However, for large-capacity battery cells or high-rate discharge occasions, the large amount of heat generated by the battery cells cannot be transferred out in time, which will cause a large temperature difference in the battery cells. If a high-power liquid cooling unit is used, it will cause high energy consumption and high cost of the system. Summary of the invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a refrigeration system and a refrigeration method for a large-capacity battery pack, which are suitable for refrigeration operations of large-capacity battery packs.
