Thermal management for a battery cooling system using dendritic mini-channel.

A mini-channel heat sink has been developed to cool small devices, such as electronic devices and central processing units (CPUs). Due to the increasing demand of electric vehicles (EVs), a mini-channel heat sink has been applied in a battery cooling system that must be continually improved to ensure safe and efficient battery use. In spite of the major drawback of high-pressure drop, the mini-channel heat sink is an area of great interest among researchers because it can provide high thermal performance. In regard to reducing pressure drops, a dendritic channel has been developed to alleviate the high-pressure drop problem and provide a better temperature distribution. This paper is a proposal review related to dendritic mini-channel heat sink and its applications in battery cooling systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
