Abstract: The application relates to thermoelectric temperature control units, for example for controlling the temperature of an energy storage device in a motor vehicle. An exemplary embodiment comprises a Peltier element, having a first and a second surface, wherein the second surface is substantially adjacent or opposite to the first. The first surface is connected in a thermally conductive manner to a first and/or second flow duct, through which a fluid can flow. The second surface is connected in a thermally conductive manner to a heat-producing element, wherein the first flow duct is in fluid communication at one of the ends thereof with a first header, and the second flow duct is in fluid communication at one of the ends thereof with a second header, and the first flow duct and the second flow duct are in fluid communication at the respective second ends thereof with a common reversing header.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular for controlling the temperature of batteries or electronics, having at least one header with a bottom and a top, with openings which are provided in the bottom for receiving tube ends of tubes which are in fluidic communication with the headers, the headers being formed from a U-shaped element with two parallel limbs and a bottom region which connects the limbs, the openings being provided in the bottom region and a wall region which is introduced between the limbs being provided as top.

Abstract: A device for restraining an energy store is provided that includes one or more cells disposed between a first side of the energy store and a second side of the energy store vertically opposite to the first side. The device has at least one first mounting device designed for transferring a first clamping force acting in the direction of the second side to the first side of the energy store, and at least one second mounting device designed for transferring a second clamping force acting in the direction of the first side to the second side o the energy store, and at least one elastic clamping device designed for providing the first and second clamping forces and further designed for adapting a distance between the at least one first mounting device and the at least one second mounting device to a permissible distance between the first and the second side.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for pressing a cooler against a battery, said cooler having at least one cooling surface for absorbing or dissipating thermal energy, and the battery having at least one contact surface for the cooling surface of the cooler to rest on. The device comprises a pressure part having at least one spring-elastic pressure element for transmitting a contact pressure onto a section of the surface of the cooler facing away from the battery. The device further comprises at least one suspension unit for suspending the pressure part on the battery, said suspension unit being designed such as to generate a suspension force which is counter to the contact force when the cooler is arranged on the battery and the suspension unit is suspended on the battery.

Abstract: An accumulator for a cooling fluid is provided that includes a floor. The floor has an interface for connecting a chamber of the accumulator to at least one cooling tube. The floor also has an opening that extends at least over a partial area of the chamber. The accumulator furthermore has a lid that is embodied in such a way as to seal the opening of the floor in a fluid-tight manner. The lid is embodied as wire or extrusion profile.

Abstract: A module system is provided that includes at least one module support and at least one module support and at least one energy storage module that is connected to the at least one module support. The module support and the energy storage module have cooling fluid connections, electric contacts, and coupling elements that are adapted to each other.
