The right mathematical model was also established. Based on the volume of fin ploughed out is equal to the volume of the metal extruded up by the extruding face of the tool, the relations between fin height, pre roll ploughing feed and pre roll ploughing depth have been achieved. With the increase of pre roll ploughing depth which must be equal to groove depth, the fin height gradually becomes larger. There are different critical feeds with the various depths of pre roll ploughing. The pre roll ploughing feed is the critical one, the height of fin is largest. And when the feed is above the critical one, the fin height will reduce with the increase of feed. The theoretical analysis basically accords with experimental results.展开更多

A compact and lightweight cold plate is designed and fabricated to fit 18650-type lithium-ion batteries, using aluminum-finned copper tubes. A dynamic temperature PID(proportional, integral, differential) control algorithm for electronic expansion valves is developed to study using EV air conditioning refrigerant, R134a, to control battery modules’ temperature with this compact and lightweight thermal management system. The experimental results show that the proposed battery thermal management system can effectively control the battery module’s temperature. In addition, during 1C discharge, when the PID temperature algorithm control scheme is used, the maximum temperature difference across the battery module peaks at less than 4℃, and the maximum temperature within the battery module is less than 36℃.展开更多
