Publication number: 20230198048Abstract: In this battery heat exchange structure: a battery cell and a heat exchange panel are closely arranged side by side so that a heat exchange surface of the heat exchange panel follows a side surface of the battery cell, a flow path wall defining a flow path through which a refrigerant circulates along the heat exchange surface is provided in the heat exchange panel, and a storage space surrounded by the flow path wall is filled with a latent heat storage material that undergoes a phase change at a temperature lower than a temperature of the refrigerant F when the refrigerant is supplied. As a result, the heat exchange efficiency between the heat exchange panel and the battery cell can be increased, and the temperature of the battery can be controlled to be within an appropriate temperature range.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: SANKEI GIKEN KOGYO CO., LTD.Inventors: Keisuke Nakamura, Takanori Nagai
