MUCSection of the continued study achievements on the Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration Engineering Division, a brand new scientific investigate for its Head, Aid Prof. Dr. Azher M. Abid continues to be released while in the Journal of Power Sources. It truly is remarkable to note that this journal is classed in the to start with quarter of Q1 SCOPUS & Clarivate, with the Affect Component nine.794.
The research is entitled
"Three-dimensional numerical examine on the influence of the air-cooled procedure on thermal administration of the cylindrical lithium-ion battery pack with two various arrangements of battery cells"
Within this analysis, a simulation of 3-dimensional battery pack (B-PK) has become carried out, that contains 16 battery cells (BCL) with aligned and non-aligned arrangements. This B-PK has been put in a sq. air duct where by air enters from the top of the B-PK and exits from The underside with the batteries.
This experiment has largely focused on altering the air velocity (V-AR) that enters the B-PK from 0.03 to 0.09 m/s for 3 cost/discharge cycles in 2000 seconds.
The outcome attained have showed that extending the charging/discharging period of B-PK until eventually the third cycle leads to a rise in the temperature of B-PK. The truth is, the impact of adjusting air velocity has actually been most apparent in the second and 3rd cycles from the battery charging process. It's also been observed that the most (T-MX) and regular (T-AV) temperatures from the B-PK as well as the temperature with the air leaving the battery pack are diminished when the V-AR is greater.
Nonetheless, the study has discovered too which the central batteries in the B-PK have the next temperature, whereas the batteries from the corners Possess a decreased temperature, as per BCLs Examination. Appropriately, it can be concluded that utilization of an aligned arrangement of batteries from the package shall decrease the T-AV of your B-PK when compared to an unaligned arrangement of batteries.
