Abstract
Thermal management system is essential for lithium ion batteries in vehicles to control operating temperature and temperature differences. Paraffin is commonly used in the study of battery thermal management system (BTMS). However with low thermal conductivity, pure paraffin is not sufficient for transferring the heat generated from battery. To sort out the existing problem, the E-graphite is used with paraffin at different proportions ranging at 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, 15% and the thermal characteristics of these composites are tested and recorded. This work comprises of the analysis of addition of this e-Graphite with the paraffin in order to increase the thermal conductivity of the paraffin and to test the same to make up a revolutionary replacement in battery thermal management system.
