THERMAL AND DIELECTRIC INSULATOR FOR A BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240014468 titled 'THERMAL AND DIELECTRIC INSULATOR FOR A BATTERY PACK

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a flexible thermal insulator for an electric vehicle battery pack. It consists of two laminated outer layers with heat-resistant coatings, separated by an intermediate layer. Each outer layer has an annular spacer that creates an air pocket between the outer layer and the intermediate layer.

  • The patent application describes a flexible thermal insulator for an electric vehicle battery pack.
  • The insulator includes two laminated outer layers with heat-resistant coatings.
  • An intermediate layer is sandwiched between the two outer layers.
  • Each outer layer has an annular spacer that creates an air pocket with the intermediate layer.
  • The insulator provides thermal insulation for the battery pack.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Electric vehicle battery packs: The thermal insulator can be used to protect and regulate the temperature of battery packs in electric vehicles.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Thermal management: The insulator helps to maintain optimal temperature conditions for the battery pack, preventing overheating or excessive cooling.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved battery performance: By regulating the temperature, the insulator can help to extend the lifespan and improve the efficiency of the battery pack.
  • Enhanced safety: The insulator can prevent thermal runaway and reduce the risk of fire or damage to the battery pack.
  • Flexibility: The insulator is flexible, allowing it to conform to the shape of the battery pack and provide effective insulation in various configurations.


Original Abstract Submitted

a flexible thermal insulator for an electric vehicle battery pack includes a first laminated outer layer bounded by a first outer layer periphery and a second laminated outer layer bounded by a second outer layer periphery. the first and second laminated outer layers each include respective first and second outer heat-resistant layers bonded to respective first and second heat-resistant outer coatings. an intermediate layer is sandwiched between the first laminated outer layer and the second laminated outer layer. a first circumferentially continuous, annular spacer is sandwiched between the first laminated outer layer and the intermediate layer to define and bound a first air pocket between the first laminated outer layer and the intermediate layer. a second circumferentially continuous, annular spacer is sandwiched between the second laminated outer layer and the intermediate layer to define and bound a second air pocket between the second laminated outer layer and the intermediate layer.
