COOLING CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BATTERY PACK

The apparatus for cooling control of a battery pack according to the present invention includes a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the battery pack; a blower module for introducing a cooling medium into the battery pack by means of fan operation; and a controller for controlling the operation of the blower module so that the cooling medium is introduced into the battery pack at a differential flow rate depending on temperature information input by the temperature sensor. [0002] In accordance with the present invention, a differential cooling mechanism can be conducted depending on a temperature distribution and a circumstance to achieve a stable application of the battery pack and an efficient energy application. Also, a fault generated in the cooling system of the battery pack can effectively be checked and reflected to the battery control and a user interface, thereby providing a cooling control apparatus having more stability and user convenience.
