Experimental studies of a static flow immersion cooling system for fast-charging Li-ion batteries

This study explores the performance of a steady-state flow single-phase non-conductive liquid immersion cooling system in a single-cell Li-ion battery under a variety of thermal environments such as 25°C, 40°C, and 60°C and tested at different charge C-rates. The experimental results show that the proposed cooling system exhibited the best cooling performance of less than 5°C and a significant temperature rise reduction of 34% at 3C rate under the ambient temperature of 25°C. Also, it provided uniform temperature distribution within the cell when charged at fast charge rates of 2C and 3C operations.
