Experimental investigation on system performances and transient response of a pumped two-phase battery cooling system using R1233zd

This study presents an experimental investigation on the pumped two-phase cooling system designed for battery thermal management. The experimental system was established with R1233zd as the refrigerant, and a dummy battery was used to simulate the heat generation during battery operation. The thermo...

The application of the control program could lead to a near 10 K decrease in wall temperatures of the cold plate by maintaining the outlet vapor quality of the cold plate at 0.25 when the heating load was instantly raised from 100 W to 600 W, meanwhile the growth of wall temperature was also slower. The results of this study can serve as a guideline for the application of pumped two-phase cooling system on battery thermal management.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352484720312439Pumped two-phase coolingBattery thermal managementThermal performanceTransient response
