Abstract: A new type of tubular composite phase change material (t-CPCM) structure is designed to replace the traditional block-shaped composite phase change material (b-CPCM) structure, coupled with forced convection heat transfer and applied to battery thermal management. The simulation results show that, compared with the b-CPCM model, the t-CPCM model not only has a more uniform flow channel distribution, but also a larger convective heat transfer area. The theoretically calculated convective heat transfer thermal resistance is 0.8 K·W−1, which is 20 times less than b-CPCM model. The experimental results show that the excellent heat dissipation performance of the t-CPCM battery module can effectively control the battery temperature. For example, the maximum temperature of the t-CPCM battery module is 46.9 ℃, and the temperature difference is only 0.8 ℃; as for the b-CPCM battery module, the highest temperature is as high as 51 ℃, and the temperature difference is 5 ℃. The designed t-CPCM has important application value in battery thermal management.

Key words: phase change material, tubular, simulation, thermal resistance, battery thermal management, forced convection heat transfer
