Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a heat flux assembly for an energy storage device. The energy storage device includes a housing with a plurality of side walls that define an internal volume and a plurality of cells configured within the internal volume. The heat flux assembly includes a plurality of heat flux components configured for arrangement with the side walls of the housing of the energy storage device and one or more temperature sensors configured with each of the plurality of heat flux components. Thus, the temperature sensors are configured to monitor one or more temperatures at various locations in the plurality of heat flux components. The heat flux assembly also includes a controller configured to adjust a power level of each of the heat flux components as a function of the monitored temperature so as to reduce a temperature gradient or difference across the plurality of cells during operation of the energy storage device.

Abstract translation: 本公开涉及一种用于能量存储装置的热通量组件。 能量存储装置包括壳体，其具有限定内部体积的多个侧壁以及配置在内部体积内的多个单元。 热通量组件包括被配置为与能量存储装置的壳体的侧壁配置的多个热通量部件和配置有多个热通量部件中的每一个的一个或多个温度传感器。 因此，温度传感器被配置为监测多个热通量分量中的各个位置处的一个或多个温度。 热通量组件还包括控制器，该控制器被配置为根据所监视的温度来调节每个热通量分量的功率水平，以便在能量存储装置的运行期间降低跨越多个单元的温度梯度或差值。

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing a cooling airflow to an energy storage system. The energy storage system can include one or more energy storage devices positioned within a defined thermal zone. The energy storage system can include a thermal control system configured to provide a cooling airflow to the one or more energy storage devices. The thermal control system can include a heat exchanging device configured to provide a cooled airflow to the defined thermal zone. The thermal control system can also include a moveable element configured to adjust a distribution of airflow within the defined thermal zone.
