Abstract: Thermal Management System for Lithium-Ion Battery Pack Using Rings with Fins The present invention introduces a novel air- cooled battery thermal management system (100, 200, 300) employing various arrangements of curved strips (3a) or rings (3b) or rings with fins (3c), tubes (4), and plates (5, 5A) to enhance the cooling of cells (1) inside the box (2, 2A) by conductive and convective heat transfer. Curved strips (3a) and tubes (4) help to maintain the uniformity of temperature inside the battery pack. Plates (5, 5A) positioned at the top of the top busbar (6) and at the bottom of the bottom busbar (6) accelerate heat dissipation from the busbar (6) by conductive heat transfer. Cool air is introduced into the battery pack through a single inlet port or plurality of inlet ports on the inlet face (7), which removes heat from the cells (1), curved strips (3a) or rings (3b) or rings with fins (3c) and tubes (4) via convective heat transfer, and finally dissipates this heat in the environment via a single outlet port or plurality of outlet ports on the outlet face (8) to reduce the temperature of the cells (1) in the battery pack and improve the performance, safety, and life of the battery pack. Additional inlet port (9) of air at the bottom of the box (2A) helps to improve the cooling of the cells further. [figures 9]
