SURVEY OF AIR BATTERY THERMAL MANAGEMENT ON THE AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOTS

ABSTRACT
With the development of computer technologies and battery systems, mobile robot systems have gained an important place in our lives. The Li-ion batteries, which attract attention for portable applications due to their high power output, light weight, and no memory effect, must operate in a limited temperature range in order to operate safely and for a long application life. This case makes it necessary to use battery thermal control systems that will provide temperature control for Li-ion battery applications. Within the scope of our study, Li-ion battery thermal management systems were investigated in detail. A detailed literature review was carried out on air thermal management systems, with their application and systemic convenience. Due to restricted packaging space for battery in mobile robots, cooling will be more challenging in the future. The air thermal management system, which has limited thermal management capability due to the low thermal properties of the air, is a thermal management method that will be sufficient especially for low scale applications.
