  • Publication number: 20220367953
    Abstract: A battery module for a traction battery of a battery electric vehicle and a method for manufacturing a battery module are disclosed. The battery module includes a cohesive battery cell stack and a module housing. A guide unit with at least two guide rails are provided on two opposite sides of the battery module. The battery cell stack is inserted into the module housing in a direction of insertion via the at least two guide rails and held transversely to the direction of insertion. The battery cell stack is bonded to the module housing via a cured adhesive. The cured adhesive defines a form-fitting unit that holds the battery cell stack in the module housing in at least one of a form-fitting and force-fitting manner.

  • Patent number: 11020693
    Abstract: A fuel filter for cleaning fuel for an internal combustion engine may include a main filter and a prefilter arranged upstream of the main filter, through which a fuel is successively flowable. The prefilter may include a water separator configured to separate water present in the fuel. The water separator may include a water collection chamber structured and arranged to collect the separated water. The prefilter fluidically connected to the main filter via a conveying device structured and arranged to convey the fuel from the prefilter into the main filter. The conveying device may be configured to provide an excess pressure build up. The fuel filter may also include a suction jet pump fluidically connected to the water collection chamber via which at least one of the fuel and the water is dischargeable from the water collection chamber.
