  • Patent number: 11258115
    Abstract: A cooling module for an electrical energy storage system for an electric drive vehicle. The cooling module has an exchanger plate that is hollow on the inside so as to have, on the inside, a circulation chamber that is designed to contain a cooling liquid. The exchanger plate has: an inlet opening that is obtained through a front wall of the exchanger plate and is designed to allow the cooling liquid to flow into the circulation chamber, and an outlet opening that is obtained through a rear wall of the exchanger plate and is designed to allow the cooling liquid to flow out of the circulation chamber. The cooling module has a plurality of interface elements, which are placed inside the circulation chamber, are shaped like a wave, and are arranged in rows.

  • Publication number: 20200003319
    Abstract: An actuator comprising a main body which delimits a kinematic chamber inside which a valve and/or a relative drive mechanism of the valve is at least partially housed, a closing lid that can be associated to close the kinematic chamber of the main body, wherein the throttle body contains a position sensor, of the magnetic or magneto-resistive type, facing a slider of the valve and/or a component of the drive mechanism so as to read the position of the slider and therefore of the relative valve and/or of the relative component of the drive mechanism. Advantageously, the closing lid is provided with a screening device of electromagnetic fields for the position sensor and the slider, positioned near the position sensor, on the side opposite the kinematic chamber with respect to the position sensor.
