Study on Application of Hydrate Salt Supercooling Characteristics in Wide-Temperature-Range Battery Thermal Management for Cold Regions
Effective thermal management is essential for improving the performance of lithium battery packs operating under low-temperature conditions in cold environments. In the present study, sodium sulfate decahydrate (SSD) was used as the base material, and expanded graphite (EG) with a mass fraction of 2%-12% was incorporated to address issues such as material leakage, phase separation, and low thermal conductivity. After considering the leakage, phase-change material sedimentation, thermal conductivity, and latent heat, a composite phase change material with 10% EG filled into the SSD was selected. A low-temperature experimental platform was employed to simulate the thermal management performance of batteries in cold regions. The results show that the thermal conductivity of the 10% EG-SSD composite is 2.093 W/(m·K), with a supercooling degree of 17.01 ℃, meeting the requirements for temperatures below 15 ℃. System tests reveal that when the rig filled with the composite is at 5 ℃, the battery temperature remains above 15 ℃ for 2.77 times longer than that without the composite, while the battery discharge power increases by 7.53%, and the discharge time extends by 28%. Furthermore, the charging efficiency is improved by 7.55% and 13.65%, respectively. Under simulated summer car vibration conditions, the 10% EG-SSD can retrieve low subcooling heat release to ensure normal operation of the phase-change cycles.
