| Abstrak/Abstract |
An electric vehicle uses one or more
electric motors to drive the wheels and gets power from
a battery or other source of electrical energy. 18650
Lithium-ion battery (Li-Ion) is the most promising
battery to use. Therefore, a thermal management
strategy is needed for the 18650 lithium-ion (Li-Ion)
battery which aims to maintain the battery
temperature. In this study, development was carried
out to produce an immersion cooling-based cooling
system experimental facility for 18650 lithium-ion (LiIon) batteries. Its constituent components include a
battery pack, fluid reservoir, heat exchanger, pump,
piping system, and electronic and instrumentation
components. The battery pack consists of a battery,
battery case, and battery holder. The battery case
component is made of acrylic and has six passages
inside the parts which are bounded by the battery case's
inner wall cover to allow the working fluid to flow. The
battery case components have dimensions of (230) ×
(145) × (110) mm to arrange 24 batteries with a capacity
of 1800 mAh arranged in series. The selected heat
exchanger component has dimensions of (282.5) × (64)
× (129) mm. The selected pump has a max flow rate of
3.5 LPM and a max pressure of 7 bar. The sensors used
are thermocouples and pressure gauges connected to
the data acquisition system for retrieval. This
experimental facility is designed, manufactured, and
then assembled in stages from mechanical, electronic,
and instrumentation components with the aim that
future experimental studies can be carried out to
determine the effect of various research variables on
cooling systems and battery performance |
