RESUMO
This study aims to improve the performance of automotive battery thermal management systems (BTMS) to achieve more efficient heat dissipation and thus reduce hazards during driving. Firstly, the research parameters and properties of composite thermally conductive silicone materials are introduced. Secondly, the heating principle of the power battery, the structure and working principle of the new energy vehicle battery, and the related thermal management scheme are discussed. Finally, the research results are presented from the experimental test and controller design. In addition, to achieve the research goal, the composite thermally conductive silica gel plate (CSGP) material is studied in detail and parametrically analyzed, and the heating mechanism of the power battery is discussed in depth. The temperature characteristics after adding CSGP are experimentally tested, and the controller of the BTMS of the new energy vehicle is designed, including hardware circuits and software modules. The findings show that the temperature characteristics of the battery module have obvious limitations without CSGP. When the battery module operates at a 4C magnification, the temperature exceeds the safety threshold by 38.4%, with particular potential safety risks. Then, the maximum temperature of the battery module with CSGP can be controlled within 50 °C, and the temperature characteristics are prominently improved. Lastly, the controller of the BTMS is tested, and the results reveal that it has remarkable voltage recovery ability. According to the research results, the performance of automotive BTMS can be significantly improved, and better heat dissipation can be effectively achieved by adding CSGP. This helps reduce the hazards of driving. Moreover, the designed controller performs well in voltage recovery, providing solid theoretical support for further developing the CSGP battery management system.
