With increasing global attention to environmental issues, electric vehicles (EVs) are gradually becoming mainstream as a clean and efficient means of transportation. However, the core component of electric vehicles—the battery system—generates significant heat during long-term, high-load operation, posing a serious challenge to the battery’s lifespan and performance. Therefore, battery cooling technology has become a critical element in the design and development of electric vehicles.
Batteries generate heat during the charging and discharging process. If they are not cooled promptly and effectively, this heat will cause the battery temperature to rise, leading to the following issues:
1. Shortened battery life: High temperatures accelerate chemical reactions inside the battery, causing it to age faster.
2. Performance degradation: Excessive temperature will affect the electrochemical performance of the battery and reduce the battery’s charging and discharging efficiency.
3. Safety risks: Overheating may cause the battery to overheat, swell or even catch fire, posing a serious safety hazard.
An effective battery cooling system is thus essential to ensure the performance, lifespan, and safety of electric vehicles.
Battery cooling technology is a crucial guarantee for the performance, lifespan, and safety of EVs. With continuous technological advancements and innovations, future battery cooling systems will be more efficient, intelligent, and reliable, providing strong support for the sustainable development of electric vehicles.
