BATTERY PACK AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240047781 titled 'BATTERY PACK AND VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a battery pack that includes a housing with a heat exchange agent flow-path and a battery module consisting of at least two battery cores arranged in parallel. The heat exchange agent flow-path consists of at least two branches, each located on one side of each battery core. The width direction of the branches is the same as the width direction of the battery cores.
- The battery pack includes a housing with a heat exchange agent flow-path.
- The battery module consists of at least two battery cores arranged in parallel.
- The heat exchange agent flow-path has at least two branches, one on each side of each battery core.
- The width direction of the branches is the same as the width direction of the battery cores.
- The width of the battery cores is defined as x, and the width of the branches is defined as y, where 0.5x≤y<x.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electric vehicles: The battery pack can be used in electric vehicles to provide efficient cooling and heat dissipation, improving the overall performance and lifespan of the batteries.
- Renewable energy storage: The battery pack can be utilized in renewable energy storage systems to store excess energy generated from renewable sources, ensuring efficient energy utilization and management.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Heat management: The heat exchange agent flow-path and the arrangement of battery cores with branches allow for effective heat dissipation, preventing overheating and improving the battery's performance and longevity.
- Cooling efficiency: The parallel arrangement of battery cores and the heat exchange agent flow-path enhance the cooling efficiency, maintaining optimal operating temperatures for the batteries.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved battery performance: The efficient heat dissipation and cooling provided by the battery pack contribute to improved battery performance, ensuring stable and consistent power output.
- Extended battery lifespan: By effectively managing heat, the battery pack helps to extend the lifespan of the batteries, reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering overall costs.
- Enhanced safety: Proper heat management reduces the risk of thermal runaway and other safety hazards associated with overheating batteries, making the battery pack safer to use.
