Abstract
A thermal management system for batteries may include a battery where a coolant circulates through a battery coolant line; a cooling apparatus that circulating a coolant cooled in a radiator through a radiator coolant line; and a centralized energy (CE) module which is connected to the battery through the battery coolant line, connected to the cooling apparatus through the radiator coolant line, performs thermal exchange between thermal energy generated from condensation and evaporation of a refrigerant circulating in the CE module and the coolant, and selectively supplies a high-temperature coolant or a low-temperature coolant that has been thermally exchanged to the battery.
Claims16
A thermal management system for a battery, comprising:
- the battery connected to a battery coolant line, wherein a coolant circulates through the battery coolant line;
- a cooling apparatus that circulating a coolant cooled in a radiator through a radiator coolant line connected to the radiator;
- and
- a centralized energy (CE) module which is connected to the battery through the battery coolant line, connected to the cooling apparatus through the radiator coolant line, is configured to perform thermal exchange between thermal energy generated from condensation and evaporation of a refrigerant circulating in the CE module and the coolant, and to selectively supply a high-temperature coolant or a low-temperature coolant that has been thermally exchanged to the battery.
