  • Publication number: 20230361387
    Abstract: A battery assembly includes at least one battery module having a battery module housing defining a battery module interior, in which at least one battery cell and a refrigerant are arranged. At least one capillary assembly is arranged so as to externally abut against at least one of the at least one battery cells in such a way that it inclines obliquely starting from a first end of the battery cell towards a second end of the battery cell. The capillary assembly is configured so as to receive liquid refrigerant from a refrigerant supply arranged at the first end of the battery cell and release gaseous refrigerant into the battery module interior at least at the second end of the battery cell.
