Altitude effect in the design of a lithium-ion battery packing system

摘要

One of the most noticeable effects on the loss of performance and capacity of thermal systems is caused by the effect of altitude, which causes the density of a compressible fluid and the atmospheric pressure to be considerably reduced, leading to a reduction of power to electrical and thermal systems. In view of this, lithium-ion battery packs that have forced cooling through a compressible fluid are directly affected by environmental conditions, resulting in the loss of cooling capacity of the system, which affects the performance of the package when it works at large altitude. The objective of this research is to quantify the impact of altitude on sea level in the design of a pack of lithium ion batteries with forced cooling.
