TRACTION BATTERY PACK VENTING ASSEMBLY AND VENTING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17887837 titled 'TRACTION BATTERY PACK VENTING ASSEMBLY AND VENTING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The battery pack venting assembly described in the patent application includes a vented gas passage that allows vented gas to flow from a vented gas inlet to a vented gas outlet. The battery pack vent also has at least one ambient air passage that brings ambient air into the vented gas passage.
- The invention is a battery pack venting assembly that allows for the safe release of vented gas from a battery pack.
- The vented gas passage ensures that the vented gas can flow out of the battery pack without causing any damage.
- The ambient air passage helps to regulate the pressure inside the battery pack by allowing ambient air to enter the vented gas passage.
- This technology is designed to prevent overheating and potential hazards associated with the build-up of gas inside a battery pack.
Potential Applications
- Electric vehicles
- Energy storage systems
- Portable electronic devices
Problems Solved
- Prevents overheating of battery packs
- Ensures safe release of vented gas
- Regulates pressure inside battery packs
Benefits
- Improved safety of battery packs
- Enhanced performance of battery-powered devices
- Longer lifespan of battery packs
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery pack venting assembly includes a battery pack vent that communicates a flow of vented gas through a vented gas passage from a vented gas inlet to a vented gas outlet. The battery pack vent has at least one ambient air passage configured to communicate ambient air into the vented gas passage.
