Abstract

The cooling system is the important technological component of the power battery. As a result, this study explains and evaluates the lithium battery pack's heat dissipation and cooling techniques. The battery pack's cooling techniques include liquid cooling, air cooling, phase change cooling, heat pipe cooling, and composite cooling technique. In order to provide some relevant information for the follow-up research on the creation of new energy vehicles, this paper highlights the various techniques of battery cooling and their benefits and drawbacks from a wide range of literature studies.
