Publication number: 20230361387Abstract: A battery assembly includes at least one battery module having a battery module housing defining a battery module interior, in which at least one battery cell and a refrigerant are arranged. At least one capillary assembly is arranged so as to externally abut against at least one of the at least one battery cells in such a way that it inclines obliquely starting from a first end of the battery cell towards a second end of the battery cell. The capillary assembly is configured so as to receive liquid refrigerant from a refrigerant supply arranged at the first end of the battery cell and release gaseous refrigerant into the battery module interior at least at the second end of the battery cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AktiengesellschaftInventors: Markus Wuchner, Thomas Warbeck, Tim Schmidt, Manuel Groß, Björn Pehnert

Patent number: 9431685Abstract: A battery arrangement for a motor vehicle has a battery housing (4) with battery cells (6, 8) arranged by a holding apparatus (14). The battery cells (6, 8) are connected electrically to one another via a cell connecting element (14). A cooling arrangement (20, 22, 24, 26) cools the battery cells (6, 8) with a cooling medium. The cooling arrangement has a first one flow space (20), a conveying device and a heat exchanger for the cooling medium. Cell poles (10, 12) of the battery cells (6, 8) are arranged on the cell connecting element (14) and a printed circuit board (18) is parallel to the cell connecting element (14). A second flow space (22) is formed between the printed circuit board (18) and the cell connecting element (14) and has openings (24) in the region of the battery cells (6, 8) arranged on the cell connecting element (14).Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.
