Abstract:

With the continuous improvement of the power level and power density of high-power DC charging modules, more severe challenges are posed to the heat dissipation design of modules, among which forced air cooling heat dissipation is widely used in high-power DC charging modules.First of all, the overall hydrodynamic modeling of the module inlet section and fully developed section is carried out to obtain a unified mathematical model.On this basis, the impedance characteristic curve of the system is obtained and then associated with the static pressure drop of the fan to determine the working point of the system and mathematically model the thermal resistance of radiator.A simplified design method of the thermal model is proposed, based on which a 60 kW high-power DC charging module with forced air-cooling heat dissipation is constructed, and the reasonableness and feasibility of the modeling and simplified design are verified through finite element simulation and thermal experiment.

Key words: DC charging module, fluid dynamics modeling, thermal resistance of radiator, forced air cooling, simplified method
