Model-based design approach finding optimal liquid cooling flow path for electric vehicle battery

Abstract

Today many electronic devices that generate significant heat are required to be equipped with liquid cooling systems to reduce their temperature. Since the liquid flow path in the cooling system affects cooling performance, determining flow path in the early development phase can improve the efficiency of the downstream development process and reduce the total cost. In this paper, we propose a model-based analysis system for thermo-fluid phenomena based on CFD results and demonstrate the parametric optimization of flow path.
