Abstract

This research studied and compared the heat transfer enhancement using air cooling, indirect cooling and immersion cooling system using Novec 7100 fluid. The results showed that the immersion cooling system had the potential to decrease the temperature of the surface battery, having a value from 34.61 to 26.95 degrees Celsius. It was also found that the immersion cooling system enhances the heat transfer capability from the surface of the battery to Novec 7100 fluid and the air inside the test section, leading to a maximum increase in the Nusselt number by 3.45 times compared to the air cooling system. Additionally, the results showed that the indirect cooling system provides the lowest Nusselt number when compared to other cooling methods in this research. The comparison of the heat transfer enhancement on the lithium-ion battery surface of the various cooling systems contribute to the development of effective battery thermal management and also apply in engineering research or industries related to batteries in the future.
