Thermal Management System with Heat Storage Device for Special Vehicles
Thedevelopmentofelectrification and intelligentizationofspecial vehicles presentsthesignificant thermal management challenges
including high heat flux density and high-frequency dynamic thermal loads. To address these issues
thispaperproposes a novel thermal management systemwitha phase change material (PCM)-based heat storage device. This systemisequipped witha PCM storage moduleandan electromagnetically actuated liquid metal-based thermal switch
which enablestheprecise on/off control of the heat exchange between the module and the vehicle’s cooling circuit. A 1D simulation modelis established to investigate thethermal responseof the systemundertheconditions ofhigh-load heat dissipation and low-temperature coldstartup. Simulatedresults demonstrate that theheat storage device notably lowers the coolant outlet temperature of low-temperature loop and reducesthepower consumptionoffanduring cooling. In cold-start conditions
the device rapidly elevates the temperature of the electric-mechanical circuit by more than 30 ℃
The heat transfer rates during charging/discharging and the device's thermal insulation capabilitycanbefurther improvedbyoptimizing the geometry ofheatstorage module and thethicknessofthermal switch. The findingsoffer critical guidance for optimizing the design of heat storage devices and improving the overall mobility and operational readiness of special vehicles.
