  • Publication number: 20170271729
    Abstract: A temperature control device may include a temperature control structure through which a fluid is flowable and which may have at least one first conduit wall defining an interior, and at least one thermoelectric module arranged on the first conduit wall on a side facing away from the interior. The thermoelectric module may have at least two element rows, each having at least two thermoelectric elements. The element rows may extend along an extension direction. At least two fluid channels may be provided in the temperature control structure, one fluid channel for each element row such that each fluid channel may be thermally coupled to an associated element row. In at least one fluid channel, a valve may be provided, the valve being adjustable between a closed position, in which the valve may close the fluid channel, and an open position, in which the valve may release the fluid channel.

  • Patent number: 9755283
    Abstract: A heating and cooling device for a battery may include an electrically conductive base plate for thermal coupling to the battery. The base plate may include at least one fluid path for flowing through by a coolant. The device may include a carrier plate of an electrically non-conductive material, into which at least one electric heating element may be inserted. The carrier plate may be connected electrically with the electrically conductive base plate. An electrically conductive cover plate may be connected electrically with the electric heating element. The base plate, the carrier plate and the cover plate may be stacked on one another along a stacking direction.

  • Publication number: 20150090427
    Abstract: A heating and cooling apparatus for a battery may include a base plate in which at least one fluid path for flowing-through of at least one of a coolant and a refrigerant is provided. At least one support part may be provided, in which in each case at least one electrical heating element is provided that is thermally coupled to the base plate. The heating and cooling apparatus may include a cover plate. The base plate, the at least one support part and the cover plate may be arranged adjacent to one another along a stack direction.

  • Publication number: 20140048230
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger for a battery unit, comprising coolant-conducting tubes (3b) which end at both sides in in each case one collector (3a, 3c), wherein each collector (3a, 3c) is connected to at least one tube (3b) and a potential equalization element for electrical potential equalization connects at least one collector (3a, 3c) to a housing (5) of the battery (2). To produce potential equalization between the heat exchanger and a battery housing in as inexpensive a manner as possible, the potential equalization element (14, 15, 17, 23, 24) and the collector (3a, 3c) are formed in one piece.
