Estimating the term…
Techniques and solutions are provided for controlling fans associated with battery racks located in an enclosure. The fans can be ranked according to different criteria, such as using an average temperature of cells in a battery rack, a temperature of an enclosure housing the battery racks, an average temperature of battery racks in the enclosure, or using information about the spread of cell temperature of cells in particular racks. Higher-ranked racks can have their fans turned to an active state. In some cases, different ranking techniques can be used for different operational modes of an HVAC unit in communication with the enclosure. Disclosed techniques can have various benefits, such as improving ventilation of the enclosure, prioritizing heating or cooling of particular racks, or reducing temperature gradients, or temperature spread, between battery racks in an enclosure.
