The heating mechanism of the capacitor is researched, the air cooling structure is designed of the capacitors, the model of the cooling of the capacitors is established for the heating phenomenon occurs during the charging and discharging process for super capacitors in series of hybrid electric vehicle. The model of the cooling is simulated based on the software of Star CCM +. The results of experiment show that the maximum temperature difference is less than 5°C among the capacitors, which ensures the consistency of the capacitors working temperature and proves the capacitors work substantially well.

With the heightened concern for energy consumption and environment conservation, the interest on fuel cell HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) has been greatly increased. In this study, a numerical model for the cooling system of batteries was constructed. Using the constructed analysis model, the material of the cartridge and the cartridge width were checked for improving the performance of the cooling system of batteries. The performance was changed by using different cartridge material, and the cartridge width also has an effect to the performance of the cooling system of batteries as shown in the analysis results. The constructed model and method can be used to investigate the performance of the cooling system of batteries.

In this study, numerical simulations of the vehicle cooling system and the vehicle powertrain system of a virtual heavy duty tracked series hybrid electric vehicle (SHEV) is developed to investigate the thermal responses and power consumptions of the cooling system. The output data from the powertrain system simulation are fed into the cooling system simulation to provide the operating conditions of powertrain components. Three different cooling system architectures constructed with different concepts are modeled and the factors that affect the performance and power consumption of each cooling system are identified and compared with each other. The results show that the cooling system architecture of the SHEV should be developed considering various cooling requirements of powertrain components, power management strategy, performance, parasitic power consumption, and the effect of driving conditions. It is also demonstrated that a numerical model of the SHEV cooling system is an efficient tool to assess design concepts and architectures of the system during the early stage of system development.

Necessitated by the dwindling supply of petroleum resources, various new automotive technologies have been actively developed from the perspective of achieving energy security and diversifying energy sources. Hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles are a few such examples. Such diversification requires the use of power control units essentially for power control, power conversion, and power conditioning applications such as variable speed motor drives (dc–ac conversion), dc–dc converters and other similar devices. The power control unit of a hybrid electric vehicle or electric vehicle is essentially the brain of the hybrid system as it manages the power flow between the electric motor generator, battery and gas engine. Over the last few years, the performance of this power control unit has been improved and size has been reduced to attain higher efficiency and performance, causing the heat dissipation as well as heat density to increase significantly. Efforts are constantly being made to reduce this size even further. As a consequence, a better high performance cooler/heat exchanger is required to maintain the active devices temperature within optimum range. Cooling schemes based on multiple parallel channels are a few solutions which have been widely used to dissipate transient and steady concentrated heat loads and can be applied to existing cooling system with minor modifications. The aim of the present study has therefore been to study the various cooling options based on mini-channel and rib-turbulated mini-channel cooling for application in a hybrid electric vehicle and other similar consumer products, and perform a parametric and optimization study on the selected designs. Significant improvements in terms of thermal performance, reduced overall pressure drop, and volume reduction have been shown both experimentally and numerically. This paper is the first part in a two part submission and focuses on the design and evaluation of mini-channel and rib-turbulated mini-channel cooling configurations. The second part of this paper discusses the manufacturing and testing of the cooling device.
