COOLING CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BATTERY PACK

摘要

A cooling control apparatus for a battery pack according to the present invention comprises: a temperature sensor which measures the temperature of a battery pack; a blower module which makes a cooling medium flow into the battery pack by driving a fan; and a control unit which controls the blower module to be driven so as to allow for different flow rates of the cooling medium to flow into the battery pack depending on the temperature information inputted from the temperature sensor. The present invention drives a differential cooling mechanism according to temperature distribution or the situation of the battery pack, so that it is possible to both stabilize battery pack operation and optimize energy utilization for greater efficiency, and it is also possible to more effectively troubleshoot the error states of the cooling system of the battery pack, and the method can be applied to the battery control and user interfacing, thereby making it possible to provide a cooling control apparatus which is more stable and enhances user convenience.
