  • Publication number: 20230327235
    Abstract: A cooling device for an energy store for cooling a cell group on both sides, having a first cooling unit for a first side of the cell group and a second cooling unit for an opposite second side of the cell group. The first cooling unit includes a first cooling area associated with the cell group, which is divided into a first and second sub-area in relation to a second direction, and the second cooling unit includes a second cooling area associated with the cell group, which is divided into a third and fourth sub-area in relation to the second direction. The first sub-area is opposite the third sub-area and the second sub-area is opposite the fourth sub-area, and the first and fourth sub-areas are located closer to an at least one supply port of a distributor arrangement of the cooling device than the second and third sub-areas.

  • Patent number: 11072248
    Abstract: A battery for a motor vehicle, with at least one battery module, which has a plurality of battery cells. The at least one battery module is arranged in a battery housing of the battery. The battery has a cooling device for cooling the battery cells by means of a cooling medium. The cooling device comprises at least one wall of the battery housing, with which the at least one battery module closely fits, and which is formed from a heat-conducting plastic at least in areas. The heat-conducting plastic restricts at least one duct for the cooling medium, with the duct being formed in at least one wall of the battery housing.

  • Patent number: 9490509
    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes at least one battery module configured to be cooled by compressed gas. The battery module has a cooling system which has an accumulator for compressed gas that can be fed to the battery module for cooling. A control device controls supply of gas from the accumulator to the battery module in dependency of at least one output value from at least one sensor configured to measure a current output from the battery module.
