"This project titled: ""Conceptual Feasibility of a Heat Pipe as a Structural and Thermal Member in an Automotive Battery Pack Design"" will answer questions about the suitability of using a sealed heat pipe as a structural member in an automotive lithium-ion battery pack.Partners Vantage Power, Flint Engineering and Brunel will combine to bring the best research and innovation in two-phase passive heat transfer to the application of automotive lithium-ion battery packs.By improving heat transfer from the cells within a battery, packs with higher overall specific energy and power densities can be built whilst opening up applications in hot ambient environments where active cooling is a necessity.Thermal management in large battery packs currently requires either heavy, solid conductive paths or large amounts of coolant which both contribute adversely to the overall mass and complexity. Heat pipes have the potential to reduce this significantly making the integration of cells into large battery packs more affordable while guaranteeing through life performance and improving safety."

“这个项目的标题是：““热管作为汽车电池组设计中的结构和热构件的概念可行性””将回答有关在汽车锂离子电池组中使用密封热管作为结构构件的适用性的问题。合作伙伴Vantage Power，Flint Engineering和Brunel将联合收割机，将两相被动传热的最佳研究和创新带到汽车锂电池的应用中，通过改善电池内电池的热传递，可以构建具有更高的总比能量和功率密度的电池组，同时开启在需要主动冷却的热周围环境中的应用。固体导电路径或大量冷却剂，这两者都对总质量和复杂性有不利影响。热管有可能显着减少这种情况，使电池集成到大型电池组中更经济实惠，同时保证整个寿命性能并提高安全性。"
