==BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18590086 titled 'BATTERY PACK

The abstract describes a patent application for a battery pack mounted on a vehicle, featuring battery modules, refrigerant cooling portions, distribution and aggregation pipes.

* Battery cooling portions have refrigerant jackets cooling side-by-side battery modules in the vehicle's front-rear direction.
* Each cooling portion includes a supply pipe delivering refrigerant to the jacket and a discharge pipe removing it.
* The refrigerant jacket, supply, and discharge pipes have a flat shape and are positioned below the jacket.
* The supply pipe connects to a central supply port on the jacket, while the discharge pipe connects to a central discharge port.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A battery pack is mounted on a vehicle. The battery pack has a case, battery modules placed on the case, battery cooling portions through which a refrigerant flows, a distribution pipe, and an aggregation pipe. Each battery cooling portion includes a refrigerant jacket cooling the battery modules arranged side by side in a front-rear direction of the vehicle, a supply pipe suppling the refrigerant to the refrigerant jacket, and a discharge pipe discharging the refrigerant from the refrigerant jacket. The refrigerant jacket, the supply pipe and the discharge pipe each have a flat shape being short in an upper-lower direction. The supply pipe and the discharge pipe are arranged below the refrigerant jacket. The supply pipe is connected to a supply port provided in a central portion of the refrigerant jacket. The discharge pipe is connected to a discharge port provided in the central portion of the refrigerant jacket.
