Abstract

Based on the identified problem by our group of the unavailability of affordable commercial usable battery pack for electric vehicles and with the goal of implementing water cooling for the same which will lead to these packs be more compact and efficient we have decided to undertake this project . Research regarding calculating the cell configuration according to the energy requirement as well as suitable selection of the motors done. Later once the cell configuration was decided and the battery pack was designed, thermal simulations were carried out to validate whether water cooling was more efficient than air cooling for the pack. It was found the water cooling provides more reliable and consistent cooling as compared to air cooling, but it also allows us to design a more compact cell module thus making the design the entire pack more efficient.
