摘要

Immersion cooling technology exhibits excellent cooling performance and a reduced risk of thermal runaway. However, it leads to a substantial coolant mass, consequently lowering the energy density of the battery system. Furthermore, the prolonged immersion of the battery in the coolant can adversely impact its lifespan. Additionally, warming up the battery at low temperatures with an immersion system can be challenging due to the coolant's high specific heat capacity. To address the challenges, this paper introduces a novel honeycomb spray-immersion battery system. This system achieves a remarkable 85% reduction in coolant usage compared to traditional immersion cooling systems, while also incorporating a multi-mode function that includes heating, cooling, and insulation. Furthermore, we have developed an electric-thermal-fluid coupling battery model. The results of our simulation analysis indicate that, in comparison to immersion cooling, this system doubles the heating rate at low temperatures. During the cooling process, the energy consumption of the liquid pump only constitutes 0.75% of the overall battery system's discharge energy.
