To improve the service life and performance of lithium cells in new energy electric vehicles, the thermal management system of lithium cells in new energy vehicles is analyzed through simulation experiments in this research. Firstly, the calculation model of set of cells and cooling structure is built, and then a lithium cell management system is designed. On this basis, the cooling structure of lithium cell is optimized. Finally, the simulation results of the calculation model and the simulation results of the heat dissipation performance of the thermal management system in the cooling structure of lithium cell are analyzed, including influence of three factors (coolant flow, inlet temperature of coolant, and discharge multiple) on the heat dissipation of the thermal management system of lithium cell. The results show that the calculation model constructed in this research is feasible. When the optimal structure, coolant flow value, inlet temperature of coolant, and discharge multiple are determined, the thermal management system of lithium cell has a good cooling effect under the optimal parameters. Therefore, the results of this research can provide a good theoretical basis for heat management and heat dispersion technology in new energy electric vehicles.

In the process of vehicle development, the unsteady simulation of thermal management system is very important. A 3D-CFD calculation model of vehicle thermal management is established, and simulations were undertaken for uphill with full loads operations condition. The steady results show that the surface heat transfer coefficient increases to the quadratic parabolic relationship. The unsteady results show that the pulsating temperatures of exhaust and external airflow are higher than about 50°C and lower than 10°C, respectively, and the heat dissipating capacities are higher than about 11%. Accordingly, the conversion equivalent exhaust velocity increased by 1.67%, and the temperature distribution trend is basically the same as unsteady results. The comparison results show that the difference in the under-hood should be not noted, and that the predicted exhaust system surface temperatures using steady velocity equivalent method are low less 10°C than the unsteady results. These results show the steady velocity equivalent method can be used to predict the unsteady heat transfer effect of vehicle thermal management system, and the results obtained by this method are basically consistent with the unsteady results. It will greatly save computing resources and shorten the cycle in the early development of the vehicle thermal management system.
