The forced air cooling increase the thermal performance remarkably of the battery pack up to 84.2% depth of discharge with an airflow rate of 0.8 m/s. Such cooling performance improvement can be attributed to the improved convective heat transfer, due to increased airflow rates.

The current studies mainly adopt simplified model, less considering the effect of the battery internal electrochemical reaction on the air cooling performance, and the air cooling structure needs to be further optimized.
Knowing the natural convection cooling performance of the battery module is the first step to investigate the thermal performance of the battery module. If the natural cooling performance is suitable for the stability and durability of the battery, there is no need for using forced air cooling strategy.
