Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a pulsating heat pipe-based battery cooling module and a battery unit including the same. The cooling module using the pulsating heat pipe may include: a plurality of heating plates which are arranged in parallel such that both sides or one side of the heating plates contact a plurality of battery cells, while forming a space in which the plurality of battery cells are accommodatable; at least one cooling plate which allows a coolant to flow; and a plurality of channels which are in contact with the plurality of heating plates and the at least one cooling plate, have a sealed tube shape and a working fluid filled in a portion of the sealed tube shape in such a way as to function as the pulsating heat pipe. The proposed cooling module minimizes the temperature difference within the battery cell and efficiently absorbs the heat, thereby reducing the overall temperature of the battery cell.
