Study of different thermal management systems for traction batteries to obtain vehicle lightweighting by Giulia Sandrini, Daniel Chindamo, Marco Gadola, Andrea Candela, Paolo Magri

“…The simulations showed that the air-cooled system leads to greater lightweighting, but it makes the battery cells work far from 20 °C (optimal operating temperature) and therefore it could lead to greater battery cell degradation and its field of application must be limited to vehicles operating in fleets, with predictable mission; this can be overcome by using an appropriate PCM-based cooling system, stearyl alcohol. Furthermore, using a PCM, glycerol, with a melting point close to the optimal operating temperature of the batteries, allows to reduce the cell degradation.…”
