Abstract: A double-wall enclosure for thermal management of a battery pack that includes an inner hollow structure having an internal and external surface; the inner hollow structure having one or more battery modules located therein; and an outer hollow structure having an interior surface, wherein the external surface of the inner hollow structure either contacts the interior surface of the outer hollow structure or forms at least one channel with the interior surface of the outer hollow structure through which a heat transfer fluid flows. The inner hollow structure is formed of a polymer material, such that the inner hollow structure is in thermal contact with the heat transfer fluid in order to provide for the thermal management of the battery pack.

Abstract: A vehicle wheel assembly (1) for supplying compressed air from a vehicle axle to a tire (3) comprises a vehicle wheel (5) and a control valve assembly (7). The wheel (5) comprises a wheel hub (9) for mounting the wheel (5) to a vehicle (V); and a wheel rim for mounting a tire (3) on the wheel (5). A transfer line (19) is provided in the wheel for transferring compressed air from the wheel hub to the wheel rim (11) for inflating the tire (3). The control valve assembly (7) comprises an inlet, an outlet and a control valve (25) operably located between the inlet and the outlet for controlling passage of compressed air between the inlet and the outlet. The control valve assembly (7) is removably disposed in the wheel hub (9) such that fluid communication is established between the control valve assembly (7) and the transfer line (19).
