  • Thermal management system for an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) that includes a dual-sided heatsink
    Patent number: 12005797
    Abstract: An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) includes a thermal management system that includes a dual-sided heatsink that includes a first side that faces internal ambient air of the EVSE and a second side that faces external ambient air. A first fan circulates the internal ambient air of the EVSE across the first side to reject heat from the internal ambient air into the first side. A first airflow guide guides the internal ambient air across the first side of the dual-sided heatsink. A second fan draws external ambient air that flows across the second side to reject heat from the second side out of the thermal management system. A second airflow guide guides the external ambient air across the second side. An airflow seal prevents the external ambient air and the internal ambient air from mixing.
