Thermal management plays an important role when designing batteries for Electric Vehicles (EV), to ensure they can operate efficiently, safely and for a long time. This paper looks at a simplistic cooling system using an Aluminium Heat Sink with an air duct. The heat transfer characteristics have been looked at using ANSYS Fluent, a CFD software. Three cases of air inlet velocities have been analysed; 1m/s, 2m/s and 3m/s. The highest and lowest temperatures found were 309K, 306K, 305K, 302K, 302K and 299K respectively. This paper shows temperatures in Kelvin. However, other parts of the report mention temperatures in Celsius. This needs to be noted as the temperatures can be found in the files from Fluent. Overall, the higher the velocity the lower the temperatures. This paper shows how CFD can be used to analyse the cooling conditions. However, several recommendations can be made. This includes validating the design, ensuring mesh independence and that all heat inputs and boundary conditions are fully documented.
KEYWORDS
This study looked at an aluminium heat sink and air duct for potential battery cooling in an electric vehicle. Three cases were compared using the temperatures given in the project report. The maximum temperatures were 309, 305 and 302. The minimum temperatures were 306, 302 and 299. As shown in the table the 3m/s case had the lowest temperatures. This suggests further investigation could be carried out on forced air cooling. This has shown how useful CFD can be to compare different operating conditions. However, there was a large inconsistency in the temperatures. The temperatures were given in the table in Kelvin but mentioned in the text. The temperature unit and maximum temperature should be checked against the original Fluent files. The design should be validated experimentally.
