Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the thermal management technical field of energy storage system, concretely relates to a low -power's air -cooled liquid cooling thermal management system structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the proposal of the "double carbon" goal and the continuous development of the new energy storage industry, lithium ion battery energy storage systems are also developing towards greater power, higher energy density, longer cycle life and greater safety, and the heat generation power of lithium ion battery energy storage systems has also increased exponentially. If the internal heat dissipation of the energy storage system cannot be effectively carried out, the battery temperature will be too high, which will cause the battery power to decrease, and further cause the electrochemical reaction of the battery to be unstable, accelerate the attenuation of the battery life, and even cause the battery to be out of control, cause the battery to catch fire, and cause serious safety accidents. Therefore, an efficient thermal management system in the battery energy storage system is an important factor in determining its stable and safe operation. Early lithium ion battery monomers had small capacity and low energy density, and the thermal management system of the lithium ion energy storage system was relatively simple, mainly relying on air natural convection heat dissipation, i.e. passive air cooling. Later, fans were added to speed up air flow or cold air tanks were used to cool air in advance, i.e. active air cooling, and the cooling effect was improved, but the fan noise was large, and the battery temperature was not uniform, which still limited the application of air cooling technology. In order to solve the problems existing in air cooling, researchers have developed liquid cooling technology, which mainly includes cooling plate liquid cooling and immersion liquid cooling. The cooling plate liquid cooling technology uses water-glycol as the medium, and the battery heat is transferred to the cooling medium through the contact between the cooling plate liquid cooling structure and the bottom of the battery. The cooling plate liquid cooling technology is relatively mature, and the cooling effect is good, but it cannot directly cool the heat generating components, the battery temperature uniformity is poor, and it is easy to cause safety hazards such as cooling liquid leakage; immersion liquid cooling is a cooling technology developed in recent years. When the battery module is immersed in the tank filled with cooling liquid, when the battery module is fast charged and fast discharged, a large amount of heat is generated, and the cooling liquid is used to quickly absorb the heat to stabilize the temperature of the battery module, and is circulated to the external cooling radiator for heat dissipation. Immersion cooling liquid mainly includes fluorinated liquid, mineral oil, synthetic oil, silicone oil, etc., among which fluorinated liquid has no color, no smell, stable insulation, and chemical inertness, and excellent comprehensive performance, but its high price and environmental hazards restrict its application in energy storage thermal management. Mineral oil and synthetic oil have the advantages of high boiling point, non-corrosion, environmental friendliness and low cost, but they have poor material compatibility and are not resistant to high pressure. Silicone oil is not biodegradable, has high viscosity and poor heat dissipation capacity, and has low cost performance.

The structure has large power consumption, complex structure and high manufacturing cost. In particular, in the field of battery pack technology, the cooling cannot be effectively realized.

[0004] In an existing thermal management system and energy storage system, patent number CN 220527028 U, a thermal management system and energy storage system are disclosed, the thermal management system includes a plurality of water coolers for dissipating the heat of the heat exchanger, and the heat comes from the electrochemical device; wherein the plurality of water coolers include a first water cooler and a second water cooler; when the first water cooler is in a working state, the second water cooler is in a non-working state, and when the first water cooler is in a non-working state, the second water cooler switches to a working state. In this scheme, only liquid cooling can be used for cooling, the application range is small, and the practicality is not strong. Utility model content
