Cover Story: Lithium-ion batteries are key players in the electrification of vehicles. However, in high-power applications, the excess heat generated needs to be removed for the safe operation of EVs. In this study, we propose a novel methodology based on a hybrid thermal management system (HTMS), which combines an air-cooling system, paraffin PCM, flat heat pipes, and a thin layer of heat sink. Experimental tests conducted under a harsh driving profile, including fast charges and discharges for 3000 s with a 150 A current rate, were performed to study the performance of the proposed HTMS. This study aimed to reduce the maximum temperature of the LiC module under high current rates while minimizing temperature uniformity. View this paper
