Aiming at the problem of high battery heat generation during the super fast-charging process of electric vehicle fast-charging power batteries, this study designs a fast-charging battery thermal management system based on the refrigerant direct cooling architecture. In order to use the refrigerant of refrigerant to cool the battery quickly. Firstly, the study constructs the heat generation model of the power battery, the calculation model of the battery thermal management system, and builds the experimental device. Secondly, theoretical simulations and experimental studies were conducted for low-temperature fast-charging and high-temperature fast-charging operating conditions. The experimental results show that the designed battery thermal management system has good cooling effect and temperature uniformity.

Influence of rubber's viscoelasticity and damping on vertical dynamic stiffness of air spring.

Using the diaphragm-type air spring as the research object. The ratio of the vertical stiffness change caused by compressed air to the total vertical stiffness change was calculated, and it was determined that the nonlinearity of air spring vertical stiffness was mainly caused by the deformation stiffness of the rubber airbag. The variation law of vertical dynamic stiffness of air spring was predicted by theory: due to the material's viscoelasticity, the vertical dynamic stiffness rises as the excitation frequency rises, and the vertical dynamic stiffness decreases with the increase of excitation amplitude due to the damping of the material. An air spring finite element analysis (FEA) and experiment were conducted. The results show that the vertical dynamic stiffness obtained through simulation and experiment is consistent with the theoretical prediction, when various factors such as material nonlinearity, element coupling, and stiffness value sensitivity were considered. This proves that the predicted vertical dynamic stiffness variation law is reliable. The vertical dynamic stiffness obtained from both simulation and experiment showed a strong correlation in numerical values, which verified the accuracy of the FEA model of air spring established in this paper.
