Liquid immersion cooling for batteries entails immersing the battery cells or the complete battery pack in a non-conductive coolant liquid, typically a mineral oil or a synthetic fluid.
The battery liquid cooling heat dissipation structure uses liquid, which carries away the heat generated by the battery through circulating flow, thereby achieving heat dissipation effect (Yi et al., 2022).
Liquid cooling systems, such as immersion cooling or liquid-to-liquid cooling, are increasingly being used in high-performance applications to address these challenges and improve the overall execution and security of lithium-particle battery packs.
