  • Publication number: 20250096406
    Abstract: A battery module includes a housing including a first end plate defining a vent opening, a second end plate, a first side plate coupled to the first end plate and the second end plate, and a second side plate coupled to the first end plate and the second end plate. The battery module also includes a plurality of battery cells secured within the housing. The battery module further includes at least one first flame retarding device disposed within the battery module, coupled to the housing proximate to the vent opening and holds a flame retarding agent therein. The at least one first flame retarding device ruptures and releases the flame retarding agent to neutralize gases ejected from one or more of the plurality of battery cells during a thermal event of one or more of the plurality of battery cells.

  • Publication number: 20250079556
    Abstract: A battery assembly may include a pouch cell assembly. The pouch cell assembly may include a pouch cell battery including a pouch having a first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface. The pouch cell assembly may include a first thermal sheet on the first surface and overhanging the pouch. The pouch cell assembly may include a second thermal sheet on the second surface and overhanging the pouch. The pouch cell assembly may include a compression element on the first thermal sheet. The battery assembly may include a frame having a first edge, and a second edge opposite the first edge. The frame may have a first ledge projecting, in a first direction, from the first edge and defining a space containing the pouch cell assembly, and a second ledge projecting, in a second direction opposite the first direction, from a second edge of the frame.

  • Publication number: 20240363919
    Abstract: Immersion cooling of battery cells of a battery module may include a compression plate having cell engaging surfaces on either side with cooling fluid channels defined therein and extending from channel inlets at a plate bottom edge to channel outlets at a plate top edge. The compression plate is disposed between a pair of adjacent battery cells with the cell engaging surfaces facing and engaging the cell casings of the battery cells. The cooling fluid channels may cause cooling fluid entering through the channel inlets to flow over the cell casings and dissipate heat from the battery cells, and to discharge from the cooling fluid channels through the channel outlets. The cooling fluid may then flow over cell top walls of the battery cells to a housing outlet port and out of the module housing.

  • Patent number: 9228484
    Abstract: A baffle for engine fluid cooling includes a fluid guide having a pair of side walls, a bottom wall, and a coolant fluid inlet. A channel receives a pair of heat exchangers such that one may be positioned proximate to or above a part of the bottom wall and the other may be positioned proximate to or above another part of the bottom wall. Some coolant entering the guide flows into the first heat exchanger and some coolant is passed under the first heat exchanger and subsequently into the second heat exchanger.
