The visualization of phase change process of phase change material (PCM) for thermal management
of 18650 lithium-ion battery
was studied by
experimental method. The configuration consists of a semi-cylindrical battery
allocated in the center of a semi-concentric housing made of aluminum, composite
PCM and a transparent plate of 3
mm thick made of
acrylics. The results show that the composite PCM/copper foam has better
thermal performance.
Moreover, the leakage
problem can be solved by encapsulating composite PCM into closed bags made of
aluminum plastic film.
