Definitions
- Assembly comprising a phase change cooling device
- the present invention relates to a battery pack with optimized cooling by phase change material. It applies in particular, but not exclusively, in the automotive field. It applies, for example, to traction batteries for electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles.
- the traction battery of an electric or hybrid vehicle in particular a battery of electrochemical cells of the ithium-ion (Li-ion) type, regularly undergoes charging and discharging phases, resulting in heating which i can be important. It is therefore necessary to cool it effectively in order, on the one hand, to maintain its level of performance, and on the other hand to imitate its aging. The need for cooling is all the more important as the power density of these batteries tends to increase in order to satisfy the needs in terms of autonomy and rapid charge.
- Glycol water has the advantage of being an inexpensive heat transfer liquid.
- the document FR-A1 -3,037,727 proposes a cooling device for a battery of an electric or hybrid motor vehicle.
- This device proposes to enclose the battery in an enclosure filled with a dielectric liquid with phase change at rest. When the battery heats up above an evaporation temperature, the phase change fluid begins to evaporate. This phase change is an endothermic operation which cools the battery cells.
- the upper walls of the enclosure are cooled by a stream of external heat transfer fluid in order to allow the condensation of the fluid in the vapor phase and its return to the liquid state.
- phase change from the liquid phase to the vapor phase causes a sharp rise in the pressure in the enclosure.
- part of the phase change fluid in phase l iqu ide is expelled to the reservoir so as to allow automatic regulation of the pressure by temporarily increasing the volume of the system formed by the enclosure and through the tank.
- Free volume means any volume capable of being filled with a fluid.
- the invention proposes to reduce the cost of such a device without altering its effectiveness.
- the invention provides an assembly comprising a heating element and a device for cooling the heating element, the device comprising:
- a rigid enclosure which is hermetically closed and in which the heating element is housed, the enclosure having a free volume;
- variable volume tank between a minimum volume and a maximum volume, which is connected to the enclosure
- phase change fluid which is contained in the enclosure and which has a first determined evaporation temperature, the phase change fluid, when in its entire liquid phase, occupying a volume in the enclosure which is less than the free volume of the enclosure.
- the rest of the free volume of the enclosure and the minimum volume of the tank are filled with an additional volume of a filling liquid which is immiscible with the phase change fluid and which has a density different from that of the change fluid phase in liquid phase, so as to form two layers of liquid separated by an interface, called liquid interface, the filling liquid having a second evaporation temperature higher than the first evaporation temperature.
- the additional volume is greater than or equal to the maximum volume of the tank
- the filling fluid has a higher density than that of the phase change fluid in the liquid phase
- the reservoir is connected to the enclosure so that when the evaporation of at least part of the phase change fluid has driven the filling fluid towards the deformed reservoir at its maximum volume, the connection between the tank and the enclosure is located below the level of the liquid interface;
- the filling liquid has a density lower than that of the phase change fluid in the liquid phase and higher than that of the phase change fluid in the vapor phase, the filling liquid being separated from the fluid ide to phase change in vapor phase by a vapor interface interface;
- the tank is connected to a communication orifice of the enclosure which is arranged between the liquid interface and the vapor interface whatever the proportion between the liquid phase and the vapor phase of the phase change fluid and whatever the state of deformation of the reservoir between its minimum volume and its maximum volume;
- the reservoir is connected to the enclosure by means of a communication conduit which opens into the communication orifice of the enclosure by a section of proximal end which has a slope which descends constantly downwards from the communication port;
- a decantation chamber is interposed in the communication line, the proximal end section of the communication line opening into the decantation chamber through a circulation orifice, a return line connecting the decantation chamber, below the level of the circulation orifice, with the interior of the enclosure below the communication orifice;
- a section of the istal end of the communication conduit connects the settling chamber, above the level of the circulation orifice, to the reservoir;
- the heating element is formed by a battery of electrochemical cells for storing electricity, the phase change fluid and the filling fluid forming mil ieux of ielectric.
- the invention also relates to an electric or hybrid vehicle comprising a set real ized according to the teachings of the invention.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view which represents a real ized assembly according to a first embodiment of real isation of the invention in which the totality of the phase change fluid is in liquid phase;
- Figure 2 is a view similar to that of Figure 1 that i represents the real ized assembly according to the first mode of real ization in which part of the phase change fluid is in vapor phase;
- FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view which represents a real ized assembly according to a second embodiment of real isation of the invention in which the total ity of the phase change fluid is in liquid phase;
- Figure 4 is a view similar to that of Figure 3 that i represents the assembly real ized according to the second mode of realization in which part of the phase change fluid is in the vapor phase;
- FIG. 5 is a detailed sectional view that i represents a settling chamber interposed between the enclosure and the deformable tank.
- FIG. 1 shows an assembly 1 0 comprising a heating element 12 and a device 14 for cooling the heating element 12.
- This assembly 10 is intended to be embedded in a motor vehicle (not shown).
- the heating element 12 is here formed by a battery of electrochemical cells for storing electricity. It is for example an electric traction battery which is intended to imitate an electric motor participating in the movement of the vehicle, such as an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle. In this configuration, the assembly 10 is generally called a "battery pack".
- the heating element 1 2 is thus formed by an assembly of prismatic electrochemical cells of the "pouch" type according to the term inolog ie Anglo-Saxon, all substantially identical.
- a cell is formed by stacking in a long direction itud inal of a positive electrode, various separators and a negative electrode.
- the thermal conductivity of a cell in the direction of the plane of its electrodes, which can be compared to plane of the cell, is much more important than in the normal sense to this plane.
- the heat released when using or recharging a cell is concentrated on the transverse and vertical edges, and not at the center of the longitudinal end faces.
- the cells are aligned with their faces in contact with one another, leaving their four edges free.
- a cell holding device not illustrated in the figures, can ensure the mechanical strength and connectivity of the cell alignment, as well as imitate their swelling. This device does not cover most of the edges to allow the evacuation of heat, as will be explained by the following.
- the device 14 for cooling the heating element 12 comprises a rigid enclosure 16 which is hermetically closed.
- the enclosure 16 here has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped delimited by a bottom 18, four side walls 20 and an upper cover 22.
- the heating element 12 is housed in the enclosure 1 6.
- the enclosure 1 6 has a volume greater than that occupied by the heating element 12. Therefore, the enclosure contains a free volume "VL".
- the total volume of the enclosure is for example of the order of 300 liters and the volume of the ibre "VL" is between 3 and 20 liters.
- a heat transfer fluid 24 such as water or air
- This is for example outside air at a temperature below 35 ° C or air cooled i by an air conditioning system.
- an outer face of the cover 22 is here equipped with cooling fins 26. Cooling fins can also be arranged on the inside of the cover 22.
- the cooling device 14 also comprises a reservoir 28 with variable volume between a minimum volume "Vm in”, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, and a maximum volume “Vmax”, as shown in Figures 2 and 4
- the interior of the reservoir 28 is connected with the interior of the enclosure 16 by means of a communication conduit 30.
- the enclosure 1 6, the reservoir 28 and the communication conduit 30 thus form a closed thermodynamic system.
- the reservoir 28 has for example deformable side walls forming bellows 32 which i join two opposite rigid walls 34. In this configuration, the minimum imal volume "Vmin" of the reservoir 28 is substantially zero.
- the communication pipe 30 opens into the reservoir 28 through one of the rigid walls 34.
- a fluid 36 with phase change is poured into the enclosure 1 6.
- This fluid 36 with phase change will be referenced 36 in liquid phase and it will be referenced 36V in vapor phase.
- the phase change fluid 36 is preferably a dielectric fluid which thus has very low electrical conductivity. Therefore, the phase change fluid 36 can be brought into direct contact with the electrochemical cells of the heating element 12.
- the phase change fluid 36 has a first determined evaporation temperature "Te".
- the phase change fluid 36 is selected so that its evaporation temperature "Te” can be reached by the heating element 1 2 during its use.
- the phase change fluid 36 is poured into the enclosure 16 when it is in the liquid phase.
- the quantity of fluid 36 changing from phase to liquid phase contained in the enclosure 16 occupies a volume "V1", of the cold volume, which is less than the free volume "VL" of the enclosure 16.
- the number of fluid 36 to phase change in liquid phase is sufficient to at least partially immerse the heating element 1 2, for example at least half of the heating element 12.
- the phase change fluid 36 is intended to remain stagnant inside the enclosure 1 6.
- the heating element 12 is cooled i by evaporation of the phase change fluid 36 when its temperature becomes greater than or equal to the evaporation temperature "Te".
- Te evaporation temperature
- the transition from the liquid phase to the vapor phase of the phase change fluid 36 being an endothermic reaction, it causes the heating element 12 to cool.
- the cover 22 being cooled i by the circulation of the fluid 24 heat transfer fluid 36V vapor phase is condensed in liquid phase before flowing again to the bottom of the enclosure 16 by gravity.
- a balance is thus established between the vapor phase created by heating the fluid 36 to phase change in phase l iqu ide in contact with the heating element 12 and the condensation of the fluid 36 V to phase change in phase steam in the upper part of the enclosure 16 which is cooled ie by the heat transfer fluid 24.
- the reservoir 28 makes it possible to maintain a pressure constant in the enclosure 16 by temporarily increasing the volume of the system formed by the enclosure 1 6 and the reservoir 28. This increase in volume makes it possible to reduce, or even cancel, the increase in pressure due to the evaporation of the flu ide 36 with phase change.
- the fluid 36 with phase change in the vapor phase drives out part of the fluids present in the enclosure 16 towards the reservoir 28 by means of the communication line 30, thus allowing expansion of the reservoir 28 to its maximum volume "Vmax".
- phase change fluid 36 To allow optimal condensation of the phase change fluid 36, it is preferable to avoid the presence of air in the enclosure 16. However, the phase change fluid 36 being expensive, it is preferable to limit its use.
- the invention proposes to fill the rest of the free volume "VL" of the enclosure 16 and the minimum volume “Vmin” of the reservoir 28 with an additional volume " V2 "of an incompressible filling liquid 38.
- the filling liquid 38 is selected so as not to be miscible with the phase change fluid 36, whether in the vapor phase or in the liquid phase.
- the filling liquid 38 also has a density different from that of the phase change fluid 36, both vapor phase and liquid phase. By a settling phenomenon, these properties thus make it possible to obtain a layer of liquid 38 for filling and a layer of fluid 36 with change of phase to liquid phase which are separated by a horizontal interface 40.
- phase change fluid 36V is present in the vapor phase, it is capable of forming a third layer which is less dense than the other two layers, which is thus arranged in contact with the cover 22 of the enclosure 16.
- the filling liquid 38 also has a second evaporation temperature higher than the evaporation temperature “Te” of the fluid 36 with phase change.
- the evaporation temperature of the filling liquid 38 is higher than the maximum temperature which the heating element 12 is capable of reaching so that the filling liquid 38 remains in the liquid state permanently.
- the filling liquid 38 has dielectric properties like the phase change fluid 36.
- the filling liquid 38 is preferably a less expensive liquid than the phase change fluid 36, it is for example perfluoromethyldecalin, or else an oil such as those used for the insulation and cooling of electrical transformers .
- the communication line 30 is connected to the enclosure 16 at the bottom of the layer formed by the filling liquid 38.
- the complementary volume "V2" of filling liquid 38 is preferably greater than or equal to the maximum volume “Vmax" of the reservoir 28. This makes it possible to avoid using expensive phase change fluid 36 to fill the reservoir 28. This function is fulfilled by the filling liquid 38.
- the volume "V1" of fluid 36 with phase change occupies between 60 and 80% of the free volume “VL" of the enclosure 16.
- the filling liquid 38 has a density greater than that of the fluid 36 changing from phase to liquid phase.
- the filling liquid 38 is formed by perfluoromethyldecalin.
- the layer formed by the filling liquid 38 is located at the bottom of the enclosure 16, below the layer formed by the fluid 36 changing from phase to liquid phase.
- the interface 40 between the two layers of liquid is at its maximum level, as shown in FIG. 1.
- the reservoir 28 is connected to the bottom of the enclosure 16, below the maximum level of the interface 40 between the filling liquid 38 and the fluid 36 changing from phase to liquid phase.
- phase change fluid 36 evaporates under the effect of the heating of the heating element 12, part of the filling liquid 38 is thus expelled towards the deformable reservoir 28. This results in a drop in the level of the interface 40.
- the interface 40 is in particular capable of reaching a minimum level when the reservoir 28 is deformed until reaching its maximum volume "Vmax".
- the reservoir 28 is connected to the bottom of the enclosure 16 below the minimum level of l 'interface 40.
- the filling liquid 38 has a density less than that of the fluid 36 with change of phase in the liquid phase and greater than that of the fluid phase change in vapor phase.
- the filling liquid 38 is for example formed by a dielectric oil.
- an interface 42 is defined here which forms a delimitation between the filling liquid layer 38 and the phase layer 36V with phase change in vapor phase when the latter exists.
- the layer of phase change fluid 36 in the vapor phase is nonexistent.
- the filling liquid layer 38 is then in direct contact with the cover 22.
- the vapor interface 42 is at its maximum level which corresponds to the level of the interior face of the cover 22, as is illustrated in FIG. 3.
- the liquid interface 40 also occupies its maximum level.
- the reservoir 28 is connected to a communication orifice 44 of the enclosure 16.
- the communication orifice 44 is arranged between the liquid interface 40 and the vapor interface 42 which that is the proportion between the liquid phase and the vapor phase of the fluid 36 with phase change and whatever the state of deformation of the reservoir 28 between its minimum volume "Vmin” and its maximum volume “Vmax”. More particularly, the orifice 44 for communication is arranged between the liquid interface 40 and the vapor interface 42 whatever their position between their maximum level and their minimum level. This configuration guarantees that during the evaporation of the phase change fluid 36, only the filling liquid 38 will be expelled to the reservoir 28.
- port 44 communication is arranged in a side wall 20 of long itudinal end that i is facing a face of an end cell of the heating element 1 2. At this location, the formation of bubbles 36B of fluid 36 with phase change in vapor phase is in fact less active than on the side walls 20 which are opposite the edges of the cells of the heating element 12.
- a section 30A of proximal end of the communication conduit 30 has a constantly descending slope down from port 44 of communication.
- the movement of the bubbles 36B of fluid 36 to phase change in vapor phase is generally vertical from upwards.
- the bubbles 36B thus naturally continue their way upwards without the possibility of descending the section 30A of the proximal end of the communication pipe 30.
- the assembly 1 0 being intended to be installed in a moving motor vehicle, it may happen that fluid 36 to phase change in phase l iqu ide accidentally passes through the orifice 44 of communication.
- the proximal end section 30A of the communication conduit 30 opens into the settling chamber 46 through a circulation orifice 48. Due to the sloping configuration of the section 30A of proximal end, the orifice 48 for circulation is arranged below the orifice 44 of communication.
- the settling chamber 46 forms a pocket, the bottom of which extends below the level of the orifice 48 for circulation.
- a section 30B of distal end of the communication pipe 30 connects the settling chamber 46, above the level of the circulation orifice 48, to the reservoir 28.
- the settling chamber 46 is normally filled with filling liquid 38. Because of this configuration, when fluid 36 with change from phase to liquid phase enters the decantation chamber 46, its density greater than that of the filling liquid 38 causes it to flow towards the bottom of the decantation chamber 46, upon 'opposite of the distal end section 30B of the communication line 30.
- a return line 50 connects the bottom of the settling chamber 46, below the level of the circulation orifice 48, with the interior of the enclosure 16 below the communication orifice 44.
- the return pipe 50 is constantly in a downward slope from the enclosure 16 to the settling chamber 46. In this configuration, by the principle of communicating vessels, the fluid 36 with phase change in liquid phase contained in the settling chamber 46 again pours into the enclosure 16 when its level exceeds that of the upper end of the pipe 50 back.
- the invention carried out according to any one of the embodiments advantageously makes it possible to reduce the quantity of phase change fluid 36 present in the enclosure 16 by adding a filling liquid 38 which will have the function of being evacuated towards the reservoir 28 during the evaporation of part of the fluid 36 with phase change.
- Such a liquid 38 having a density greater than that of the fluid 36 changing from phase to vapor phase allows a optimal condensing of the phase 36 fluid. Consequently, the efficiency of the cooling device 14 is improved.
- this solution is much less expensive and more reliable than other solutions consisting, for example, of completely filling the enclosure with phase change fluid or of placing the complementary volume "V2" of enclosure 16 under vacuum. .
