BATTERY AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18612229 titled 'BATTERY AND VEHICLE

The abstract describes a battery with a cooling system that circulates refrigerant to cool the battery module.

  • The battery includes a battery cell and a cooler with an inlet and outlet for refrigerant flow.
  • The cooler is designed to cool the battery module by circulating refrigerant inside.
  • It has an inlet side flow passage overlapping a heating region and an outlet side flow passage overlapping a non-heating region.

Potential Applications:

  • Electric vehicles
  • Energy storage systems
  • Portable electronic devices

Problems Solved:

  • Overheating of battery modules
  • Ensuring optimal performance and longevity of batteries

Benefits:

  • Improved battery efficiency
  • Extended battery lifespan
  • Enhanced safety features

Commercial Applications:

  • Automotive industry for electric vehicles
  • Consumer electronics market for smartphones and laptops
  • Renewable energy sector for energy storage solutions

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the cooling system impact the overall performance of the battery? 2. What are the potential cost implications of integrating this cooling system into battery modules?

Frequently Updated Research: Research on new refrigerant technologies for more efficient cooling systems in batteries.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a battery that includes a battery module having a battery cell, and a cooler including an inlet part through which refrigerant flows in from outside, and an outlet part through which the refrigerant flows out, and configured to cool the battery module as the refrigerant circulates inside the cooler. The cooler includes an inlet side flow passage that communicates with the inlet part and is provided at a position overlapping a heating region, and an outlet side flow passage that communicates with the inlet side flow passage and the outlet part, and is provided at a position overlapping a non-heating region.
