ACTIVE AND PASSIVE COOLING FOR AN ENERGY STORAGE MODULE |
| 摘要 |
The present disclosure relates to cooling an energy storage module using passive and active cooling techniques. Passive cooling is provided by storing heat in a phase change material that is contact with the energy storage cells of the energy storage module. Active cooling is provided by circulating coolant through coolant passages that are in thermal contact with the energy storage cells. A control system for determining the temperature of the energy storage module and controlling coolant flow when the temperature reaches a predetermined threshold is disclosed. |

1. A method for cooling an energy storage module comprising:
determining a first temperature in an energy storage module, the energy storage module comprising:
an array of energy storage cells;a phase change material in thermal contact with a coolant passage and said energy storage cells; comparing the first temperature to a first and second threshold; and changing coolant flow through said coolant passage based on the comparison.
