Summary: This study investigated the immersion phase change cooling characteristics of R1233ZD(E)/Ethanol mixed refrigerant in a staggered battery module to improve heat dissipation and temperature uniformity for electric vehicle lithium-ion battery. The analysis considered different discharge rates, filling volume fractions, and inlet volume flow rates. Results show that the heat generation of the battery is influenced by the operating current and decreases with the decrease of the output power. Mixing R1233ZD(E) into ethanol effectively enhances wall boiling heat transfer and improves battery module temperature uniformity. However, high volume fractions of R1233ZD(E) result in departure from nucleate boiling regime, affecting heat transfer and temperature quantities.

Summary: A lightweight liquid cooling solution was developed to cool a prismatic hard-cased cell, with studies on the effects of fluid flow directions, flow rates, channel dimensions, and cooling mediums on the cell's thermal distribution. Simulation and experiments showed that the lightweight thermal design effectively lowered the cooling plate weight and controlled the cell temperature within a desirable level. Increasing fluid flow rate and channel width can promote the cooling plate performance, while the choice of cooling medium can impact the cell's temperature difference.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel multi-task learning data-driven model called GBLS Booster for accurately assessing the state of health (SOH) and remaining useful life (RUL) of lithium batteries. The model combines the strengths of GBLS and the CNN-Transformers algorithm-based Booster, and the Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) algorithm is used for optimization. The study devises 10 healthy indicators (HIs) derived from readily available sensor data to capture variations in battery SOH. The random forest method (RF) is employed for feature refinement and data dimension reduction, while the complete empirical mode decomposition (CEEMDAN) method and the Pearson correlation coefficient are used for noise reduction and data point elimination in RUL prediction. The proposed model demonstrates exceptional accuracy, robustness, and generalization capabilities.
