  • Publication number: 20200411823
    Abstract: A protective unit is provided for a battery module of a high-voltage battery of a motor vehicle for electrically insulating cell housings of prismatic battery cells of the battery module, which battery cells are stacked to form a cell stack. A cell-contacting system of the battery module interconnects the battery cells by electrically connecting cell terminals of the battery cells. The protective unit includes a pre-formed intermediate layer made of an electrically insulating material, which intermediate layer can be applied to a side of the cell stack having the cell terminals and can be arranged between the side of the cell stack having the cell terminals and the cell-contacting system. The intermediate layer has a number of cut-outs which corresponds to the number of cells terminals. The cut-outs are provided for the feeding through of the cell terminals when the intermediate layer is applied to the cell stack.

  • Patent number: 10644366
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing an assembly for an energy supply system, having an energy storage module and a plate-shaped cooling element. Between a contact side of the energy storage module and a contact side of the cooling element, a deformable, adhesive heat conducting layer is applied. Subsequently, the energy storage module and the cooling element are pressed together, wherein by way of the heat conducting layer, a dimensionally stable adhesive connection between the energy storage module and the cooling element is produced, which permanently connects the energy storage module to the cooling element. By way of the adhesive connection, the contact side of the energy storage module is bonded with the contact side of the cooling element in a planar, material-fit, durable, and dimensionally stable manner such that the energy storage module and the cooling element form a structural unit.

  • Patent number: 10126027
    Abstract: A control device, and a method for operating the control device, optimizes cooling of a high-voltage accumulator using an air-conditioning system in a vehicle. A coolant flow which is insufficient is detected by an evaporator for the high-voltage accumulator and, as a result, heat losses inside a condenser of the air-conditioning system are reduced for increasing the flow of the coolant.
