Resumen

En este estudio se evalúa el comportamiento térmico ante condiciones de fuga térmica de tres arreglos de celdas de iones de litio con distintos sistemas de enfriamiento: aire, agua y material de cambio de fase (PCM). Se utilizaron 16 celdas cilíndricas de tipo 18650 con una capacidad de 2.15 Ah. La geometría 1 tiene una forma de rombo irregular, mientras que las geometrías 2 y 3 tienen una forma de un octágono irregular. Se implementaron simulaciones numéricas CFD empleando el software ANSYS Fluent mediante la aplicación del modelo de abuso térmico basado en un enfoque multidimensional multiescala y el modelo empírico NTGK. Se ejecutaron simulaciones transientes considerando convección forzada y natural. Los resultados muestran que, para las condiciones dadas en el estudio, el enfriamiento natural por aire no previene la fuga térmica, mientras que el agua y PCM sí la previenen, al igual que la convección forzada con aire y agua.
