A Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) maintains a battery pack at its optimal temperature range of 20° to 45° C regardless of ambient temperature. The required performance and cycle life of the battery pack determine the specific set point for the temperature.
This thermal system solution maintains critical operating temperature ranges for vehicle batteries, with design solutions available for both active and passive cooling circuits.
Available Cooling Solutions
✔Air Cooling: Fan and heat sink
✔Liquid Cooling: Plate, radiator, fan, pump, and controller
✔Refrigerant Cooling: Plate, condenser, and compressor
✔Phase Change Cooling: Plate and condenser
