  • Patent number: 7892671
    Abstract: A device for cooling batteries, particularly of an electric and/or hybrid vehicle, includes a pair of compartments (1, 12) in communication with one another, including a first compartment (1) housing the batteries distributed among adjacent columns and a second compartment (12) housing at least a blower (14). One of these compartments (1, 12) has an air intake aperture (5) while the other compartment (1, 2) has a discharge aperture (5) for discharging the admitted air to the outside. The first compartment (1) modifies the dynamics of the air passing through it, starting from an axial circulation of air along the columns of batteries.

  • Patent number: 6332759
    Abstract: A heating and/or air-conditioning installation with a motor-driven fan unit has a motor driving a turbine, a speed control module and a volute housing the motor and forming an outlet channel for airflow at the periphery of the turbine. The speed control module is mounted at the periphery of the motor and has an electrical connector engaging a connector of the motor. It also has one or more walls of thermally conducting material and in contact with the outlet channel to cool the module.
