In the prior art, the cooling of the power battery is usually air cooling and liquid cooling. The air cooling is a heat dissipation mode which uses low-temperature air as a medium and uses cold air to contact the surface of the battery to exchange heat, so that the temperature of the battery is reduced. The air cooling system has the advantages of simple structure, relatively mature technology and low cost. But because the coefficient of heat conductivity of air is low, the heat quantity which can be taken away is limited, the heat exchange efficiency is low, and the temperature inside the power battery is also easy to be uneven. The liquid cooling is a heat dissipation mode for reducing the temperature of the power battery by carrying away the heat generated by the power battery through liquid convection heat exchange.
