A reliable and cost-efficient tool to monitor real-time temperature of battery packs

By Azita Soleymani, PhD The thermal management of li-ion battery packs are quite crucial as it is directly related to the safety, reliability, performance and durability of battery packs. The thermal requirement of battery packs is quite specific. Not only the average battery pack temperature should be maintained within the given range but also the…

Best Practice of Modeling Air Movers

By Arjan Kole The normal practice of modeling the performance of an air mover in a system is the following: The CFD model is built of the application where the air mover is implemented, including the air mover itself. The measured performance from testing of the air mover is applied to the model. The airflow…

Modeling Air Filters

By Arjan Kole The impact of an air filter to the system airflow and thermal performance is a study that is typically carried out at the initial stages of the design phase. At that point in time, hardware is usually not available for testing. Therefore the use of simulation tools is very suitable to investigate…
