Battery Cooling Tubes

Battery cooling tubes are widely used in cylindrical cells thermal management. They are also called serpentine tubes or liquid cooling tubes. Battery cooling tubes are developed with highly refined manufacturing quality, to make sure they can fit with cylindrical cells side curves, hence large contact surface between cooling tube and cells can be guaranteed .
With their large internal surface area, they can achieve more efficient heat transfer and are well adapted to different forms to work with 1865, 2170, 4680, 4695 and many other dimensions of cylindrical cells.

What is battery cooling tubes?

Battery cooling tube is also called liquid cooling ribbon, it can be seen in Tesla model 3 and model Y. It deployed with curved surface, so cylindrical cells, such 4680 cells, can be well adated to its geometric structure. Battery cooling tube is considered as an active cooling component for battery packs, especially for Li-ion battery packs. Heat generated and accumulated while battery go through charging and discharging. Without heat management, battery life and performance would be seriously impacted. Thus liquid cooling plates is commonly deployed in today’s Li-ion battery packs.

Was ist Flüssigkeitskühlung?

Bei der Flüssigkeitskühlung wird hauptsächlich ein Wasser-Glykol-Gemisch oder ein freonähnliches Kühlmittel verwendet. Diese Flüssigkeiten fließen im Inneren von Kühlkomponenten und absorbieren Wärme von der Schnittstelle, durch die sie fließen. Funktionsweise der Flüssigkeiten: Kühlflüssigkeiten werden über die Einlässe in die Komponenten geleitet -> nehmen Wärme auf -> verlassen die Komponenten über die Auslässe -> werden über externe Kühler abgekühlt -> werden wieder in die Komponenten geleitet.

Welche Vorteile hat die Flüssigkeitskühlung?

Die Größe des Batteriepakets kann kompakter sein; die Kühleffektivität ist viel höher als bei Luftkühlung; höhere IP-Schutzart; Möglichkeit der Abwärmerückgewinnung; Kompatibilität mit einer größeren Bandbreite an Klimabedingungen.

Welches Material wird bei der Herstellung von Batteriekühlplatten verwendet?

Aluminum is the most preferred material, because aluminum is lighter and recyclable. 3003, 3005, 6061, 6063 are some of the common aluminum alloys used. 3 series enjoy excellent anti-corrosion performance, in most 3 series coolign plates proejcts, it can withstand over 1000 hours of salt spray test. 6 series material is usually used in higher strength solution, or act as connectors.

How many kinds of cylindrical cooling pipe are there?

a) C2P cooling pipe. The most preferred type of cooling pipe so far for automotive and heavy duty battery packs. It has very good compatibility with 4680 Li-on battery cells.
b) C2M cooling pipe. It is usually used in smaller battery modules, or used in fields where the use of space needs optimal.
c) Tri-way cooling pipe. This three-in-one solution can reduce the number of connectors, so it is efficient in pack assembly, and cost-saving.

How a cooling tube is been made?

There are multiple types of cooling tubes. However, there might be several steps which are in common.
serpentine tube structure design considerations- XD THERMAL2

Was ist Hartlöten und wie wird es bei der Herstellung von Kühlplatten eingesetzt?

Yes, brazing is used for joinning cooling tube body with spigots. The brazing process will make the aluminum material stay in a semi-melded condition, then mating parts will attach to each other, and a strong joint between them will be created.

How many types of brazing will be used in Tesla-like cooling ribbon production?

There are two popular brazing ways.
Erste ist das kontinuierliche Löten, auch Korridorlöten genannt. Es wird in einem langen und offenen Ofen durchgeführt.
The second one ist das Induktionslöten. Es wird in der Nähe eines Heizkreises durchgeführt.

Welche Lötmethode sollte ich verwenden?

  1. Wenn Sie höchste Produktivität und kürzere Zykluszeiten anstreben, ist das kontinuierliche Löten die richtige Lösung für Sie.
  2. Wenn eine höhere Festigkeit erforderlich ist und die Kühlplatten in ihren Abmessungen dicker sind, sollten Sie sich für das Vakuumlöten entscheiden.
  3. Wenn auf engstem Raum geklebt werden muss, sollte das Induktionslöten auf Ihrer Liste stehen.

What kind of connectors/inlets & outlets are recomended?

Connectors, sometimes also called inlets & outlets, are the places where cooling tubes connecting to pipeline systems. Since connectors play the role of mating, so its dimension and shape should match its mating parts. We suggest following SAE, VDA or CQC standards. Under these standards’ connectors, pipelines can be easily assembled.

Wie werden Steckverbinder hergestellt?

Normalerweise werden Steckverbinder durch CNC, Stanzen und Druckguss hergestellt.

How to make insulation on the surface of cooling tubes?

Nachstehend sind die beliebten Wege of cooling tube insulation.
  1. Do insulation coating on the external surface of cooling tubes.
  2. Attach insulation films on top of cooling tubes.
  3. Verwenden Sie Materialien für thermische Schnittstellen, um sowohl die Wärmeübertragung als auch die Isolierung zu gewährleisten.

What is the thermal interface material between cylindrical cooling plates and cells?

Thermal interface material called TIM for short, it is a silicon based material which aims to fill invisible gap between cells and cylindrical cooling plates. TIM could guarantee sufficient contact between cylindrical cooling plates and cells, and at the same time TIM also become an efficient conductor of heat transfer.

Things you should know before designing a battery cooling tube

In order to make a robust cooling tubes. There are certain ABCs to follow. For example, choose the right wall thickness of micro channel tube when running pressure is at the higher side; When maintaining mechanical strength is at top priority, then try to avoid heat treatment in the production of cooling plates.

What is common running pressue for serpentine tubes?

Meistens bleibt es between 1-3 bars für die meisten Kühlplatten und deren Systeme für Personenkraftwagen. Für schwere Aufgaben oder andere Versorgungsunternehmen wäre der Betriebsdruck höher.

Sollte ich mich immer für einen möglichst geringen Strömungswiderstand entscheiden?

The answer is no. Cooling pipe’s job is do proper heat dissipation inside of battery packs. When flow resistance is way low, it will make fluid run much faster than it should be. Too fast speed means less time of heat exchange, heat transfer could not be sufficiently done.

Welche Dämmstufe sollte ich einstellen?

2U+1K is the design guideline for most projects. Find nominal voltage of your battery pack, make it two times more then plus 1000 V. This standard suits most scenarios. Currently, most cylindrical cooling tubes have insulation level around 3Kv.

What ultimate pressure can cylindrical cooling plates withstand?

With proper wall thickness, battery cooling tubes can withstand over 100 bars.

The tests might required for a cooling tube project

Apart from regular product tests, cooling tubes will have to go through a series of validation tests.

Korrosionsschutz-Tests

Anti-corrosion tests will verify cooling tubes’ durability in corrosion environment. External tests will be done with salt spray chamber. Internal tests will be done in circulation stations. Based on the materials’ selection, XD Thermal’s cooling tubes will be durable mehr als 1000 Stunden in Korrosionstests.

Berstdruck

Burst pressure tests will help designers to locate cooling tube’s ultimate pressure resistance. One of the inlets or outlets will be sealed before testing, pressure with liquid will be injected from another port till cooling tube start cracking. Normally, cooling tubes can withstand 60-140 bars pressure.

Strömungswiderstand

Too much flow resistance will add unnecessary burden to the cooling system’s pump. At the same time, higher flow resistane means reduced flow speed, in most of the cases, cooling tubes could not reach to heat dissipation target with too high flow resistance. So get flow resistance optimized and tested in development period if very important. Such tests can be done in a liquid circulation station.

How to install a cooling tube?

Inserting Installation

First get all cylindrical cells sit in right position, insert the cooling tube into the space between each two rows of battery cells.

Horizontal installation

Cooling tube will be brushed by glues, then one row of battery cells will be pushed to the cooling plate, then another around glue brushing will be done to cells, afterwards one cooling tube after another row of cells.
