TBTM-4 Battery Thermal Management System for Ligth Truck

A battery thermal management system (BTMS) is a set of components and processes that are designed to regulate the temperature of batteries in order to improve their performance and ensure their safety.

A typical BTMS consists of several components, including sensors, controllers, heating and cooling systems, and insulation materials. The sensors are used to monitor the temperature of the battery cells, while the controllers use this information to adjust the temperature through the heating or cooling systems.

There are different types of BTMSs depending on the specific application and requirements. For example, in a light truck, a BTMS might use liquid cooling or air cooling to regulate the temperature of the battery pack. In stationary energy storage systems, a BTMS might use phase change materials or thermal insulation to maintain the battery temperature within a specified range.

The purpose of a BTMS is to optimize the performance of the battery and ensure its safety. By regulating the temperature, the BTMS can help to extend the lifespan of the battery, improve its energy efficiency, and prevent thermal runaway or other safety hazards.
