THERMALLY CONDUCTING BRACKET FOR BUSBAR TO COLD PLATE HEAT TRANSFER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17825325 titled 'THERMALLY CONDUCTING BRACKET FOR BUSBAR TO COLD PLATE HEAT TRANSFER
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a thermally conductive bracket designed for use in a vehicle. - The bracket is intended to facilitate the transfer of heat from a busbar to a cold plate. - The cold plate acts as a heat sink for multiple battery cells connected to the busbar. - The bracket is made of a thermally conductive material that is shaped to receive the busbar. - The material has opposed sides and a bottom, allowing for efficient heat transfer. - The opposed sides transfer heat from the busbar to the bottom of the bracket. - The bottom of the bracket then transfers heat from the sides to the cold plate.
Original Abstract Submitted
A thermally conductive bracket is contemplated for use in a vehicle to facilitate transfer heat from a busbar to a cold plate, such as to assist with heat transfer to a cold plate used to act as a heat sink for a plurality of battery cells connected to the busbar. The bracket may include a thermally conductive heat transfer material shaped to receive the busbar where at least a portion of the material is configured to include opposed sides and a bottom such that the opposed sides are configured to transfer heat from the busbar to the bottom and the bottom is configured to transfer heat from the sides to the cold plate.
