  • Patent number: 11721855
    Abstract: A temperature control device for controlling a temperature of an electric device may include at least one fluid channel through which a temperature control fluid may be flowable. The at least one fluid channel may be delimited, at least partially, by at least one volume-variable casing of a flexible material. The temperature control device may further include at least one fastening device. The at least one fastening device may surround a fluid chamber through which the temperature control fluid may be flowable. The at least one casing may be coupled to the at least one fastening device such that the fluid chamber is in fluid communication with the at least one fluid channel.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11482741
    Abstract: An energy-storage arrangement for, e.g., an electric or hybrid vehicle includes an energy-storage device including energy-storage cells arranged in a housing. The housing includes an inlet and an outlet for a temperature-control fluid, that may provide for direct temperature control of the energy-storage cells in the housing. The energy-storage arrangement further includes a temperature-control-fluid circuit, in which the housing, a pump for conveying the temperature-control fluid, and a heat-transfer device are arranged. A water-separator for separating or discharging water from the temperature-control fluid may be provided in the temperature-control-fluid circuit.

  • Publication number: 20210098842
    Abstract: A battery system may include a battery housing, a pressure-equalizing device, and a circuit. At least one rechargeable battery cell may be accommodated in the battery housing. A gas may be flowable through the pressure-equalizing device to equalize a pressure between the battery housing and a surroundings disposed outside the battery housing. A cooling liquid may circulate through the circuit during operation. The battery housing may be integrated in the circuit such that the cooling liquid flows around the at least one battery cell during operation. The pressure-equalizing device may be configured such that the pressure-equalizing device is impermeable to the cooling liquid flowing from the circuit in a direction of the surroundings.

  • Publication number: 20210088291
    Abstract: A tubular body arrangement for a temperature-control device, e.g., for temperature-controlling an electrical device, is disclosed. The tubular body arrangement includes at least one first tubular body and at least one second tubular body that can each be flowed through by a temperature-control fluid and that each include a circumferential wall extending along an axial direction. The first tubular body has a first tube flange that is deformable for compensating for at least one of a position change and a dimensional change of an axial length of at least one of the tubular bodies. The first tube flange projects from the circumferential wall of the first tubular body at an angle. The second tubular body is mounted on the first tube flange so that the first tubular body and the second tubular body jointly bound a tubular body interior that can be flowed through by the temperature-control fluid.
