MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631014994 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology (Indian School Of Mines), Dhanbad, Jharkhand, on Feb. 11, for 'a battery thermal management system with liquid cooling channels embedded in cell-casing.'
Inventor(s) include Devesh Kumar; Ram Babu Gupta; Arunkumar Samanta; and Tanmay Dutta.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a battery thermal management system (BTMS) (100) for cylindrical lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The system (100) comprises a cylindrical casing (2) surrounding the cells (3) and channels (1) embedded within the casing (2) to facilitate liquid cooling. Heat is removed simultaneously through conduction via the casing (2) and convection through the channels (1), thereby increasing the effective cooling surface area between the coolant and the battery cells. The invention further demonstrates that the design maintains effective thermal control even under elevated ambient conditions. Effective surface area for heat dissipation from the cells (3) is increased by embedding the channels (1) in the casings (2) vis-a-vis the casings without the mini channels. When there is no embedded channel in the casing, the outer surface of the cell is the only area of heat transfer from the cell. However, when channels are embedded in the casing, the effective area of heat transfer from the cell increases."
