Cover Story: This study explores a critical and new aspect of electric vehicles (EVs) by comparing the environmental performance of two approaches to battery thermal management: an active cold plate system and a passive Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) system. The research conducts a comprehensive life cycle analysis on both systems, examining their environmental impact and energy efficiency. By comparing an active system (which requires external power) with a passive system (which operates without additional energy input), the study showed that the LHP passive system not only achieved a 9.9 kg reduction in overall system mass, compared to the active cold plate, but also reduced the impact on climate change by over 50%. This study highlights that LHPs can enhance the environmental sustainability of EVs while maintaining effective thermal performance. View this paper
