  • Patent number: 11563245
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for cooling of a plurality of electrical energy storage units. The arrangement comprises a tubular element forming a cooling channel for a cooling medium which has an extension between an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The tubular element comprises a first plane wall element and a second plane wall element arranged in parallel at a distance from each other which is smaller than the height of the electrical energy storage units and that the first plane wall element comprises through holes each configured to receive and define a mounting position of an electrical energy storage unit in the cooling channel.
