### 4.1. Heat dissipation design

The 20C1600K container’ environmental control system includes the air conditioner and liquid Chiller unit. The liquid Chiller unit delivers low-temperature coolant to the copper tube inside the battery pack. The coolant will exchange heat with the cells inside the battery pack, and the heated coolant will return to the liquid Chiller unit. The radiator inside the liquid Chiller unit will release heat into the air outside the container.

The air conditioner is responsible for maintaining the air humidity inside the container. When the humidity reaches the set value, the dehumidification function will be activated.

The liquid Chiller unit contains components such as compressor, condenser, radiator, water pump, etc. Each battery pack is equipped with a heat dissipation copper pipe at the bottom. The heated coolant enters the liquid Chiller unit through the water pump, exchanges heat on the heat exchanger for the first cooling, and then cools down in the condenser for the second time. Finally, the cooled coolant is transported back to each pack to exchange heat with the battery cells.

In the PACK thermal simulation experiment, the cell surface temperature is within the allowable range, and the functional safety control design is reasonable. The following conclusions can be drawn:

1\. The maximum temperature of the final battery cell in steady-state analysis is around 30 ℃;

2\. The maximum temperature of the battery cell is 30.57 ℃, the minimum temperature is 27.44 ℃, and the temperature difference between the monitoring points is 3.13 ℃;
