Abstract
An apparatus can include one or more valves to couple with a thermal line of a battery pack. The apparatus can include one or more coolant channels to couple with one or more thermal components of the battery pack. The one or more valves can modify coolant flow from the thermal line to the one or more coolant channels.
Claims19
An apparatus, comprising:
- a valve to couple with a thermal line of a battery pack;
- the valve coupled with a coolant channel, the coolant channel to couple with a thermal component of the battery pack;
- the valve is configured to modify coolant flow with the thermal line and the coolant channel;
- the valve configured to allow coolant flow in a first direction from an inlet of the thermal line to an outlet of the thermal line;
- and
- the valve configured to allow coolant flow in a second direction from the outlet of the thermal line to the inlet of the thermal line.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- coupling a valve with a main line of a battery pack;
- coupling, by the valve, the main line of the battery pack with a cooling channel of a thermal component;
- the valve configured to allow coolant flow within the main line in a first direction from an inlet of the main line to an outlet of the main line;
- and
- the valve configured to allow coolant flow in a second direction from the outlet of the main line to the inlet of the main line.
2 more elements
An electric vehicle, comprising:
- a valve to couple with a main line of a battery pack;
- the valve to couple the main line of the battery pack with a cooling channel of a cold plate;
- the valve configured to allow coolant flow within the main line in a first direction from an inlet of the main line to an outlet of the main line;
- and
- the valve configured to allow coolant flow in a second direction from the outlet of the main line to the inlet of the main line.
