Battery Thermal Management System for Construction Machinery

Reasons for high energy consumption of construction machinery

High power requirements: Construction machinery requires sufficient power to perform various tasks such as digging, handling, earthmoving, etc. These tasks often require powerful engines or electric motors to generate sufficient force and speed.

Changing workload: The workload of construction machinery is often constantly changing. For example, an excavator may require more energy when digging heavy rock and less energy when doing light earthmoving work. This changing workload requires flexible energy supplies.

Long continuous working time: Construction machinery usually needs to work continuously for a long time, such as digging or transporting all day long. This means their batteries or fuel systems need to be able to provide sustained energy without premature exhaustion.

Environmental factors: Construction machinery often works in various harsh environmental conditions, such as high temperature, low temperature, high altitude, high humidity, and dusty places. These environmental conditions may increase the energy consumption of the battery or engine because they require additional energy to cope with these conditions.

High-efficiency requirements: High energy consumption does not mean waste. In fact, construction machinery requires efficient energy systems to minimize energy waste and improve performance. This requires the battery or engine system to maintain high efficiency under high loads.

 

The impact of battery heating on construction machinery

Performance degradation: High temperatures can cause battery performance to degrade. This includes reducing the power output and energy density of batteries. Construction machinery may not provide the expected performance levels under high-temperature conditions, which may affect work efficiency.

Shortened life span: High temperature will accelerate the aging process of the battery and shorten the battery life. For construction machinery, batteries are expensive components that require a long life to ensure a return on investment.

Safety risks: Overheated batteries may cause safety risks, such as fire or explosion. This poses a potential threat to construction machinery operators, construction sites, and equipment.

Reduced availability: Battery overheating may cause the battery system to automatically shut down or require cooling time to resume normal operation. This reduces the availability and productivity of construction machinery.
