Abstract
Latent-heat store for an electrical conductor for fitting in a housing, with at least two latent-heat storage elements, at least one heat-transporting means, in particular at least two heat-transporting means, which are electrically conductively connected to one another, wherein the latent-heat storage elements and the heat-transporting means are arranged in layers in such a way that the latent heat-storage elements are contacted by the heat-transporting means on at least one surface side in each case, and so heat is conducted from the heat-transporting means into a latent-heat storage element with which it is in contact in such a way that heat can be removed from the electrical conductor into the latent-heat store.
Claims20
A plug connector, comprising:
- a first contact element;
- a first metal plate in thermal communication with said first contact element;
- a second metal plate in thermal communication with said first contact element;
- a first phase-change heat storage element;
- and
- a second phase-change heat storage element, wherein
- substantially an entirety of a first major surface of said first metal plate thermally contacts said first phase-change heat storage element,
- substantially an entirety of a second major surface of said second metal plate thermally contacts said second phase-change heat storage element,
- said first major surface is substantially orthogonal to a first longitudinal axis of said first contact element, and
- said second major surface is substantially orthogonal to said first longitudinal axis.
An assembly, comprising:
- a first electrical conductor;
- a first metal plate in thermal communication with said first electrical conductor;
- a second metal plate in thermal communication with said first electrical conductor;
- a first phase-change heat storage element;
- a second phase-change heat storage element;
- and
- a first plurality of supports that mechanically stabilize said first metal plate and said second metal plate, wherein
- substantially an entirety of a first major surface of said first metal plate thermally contacts said first phase-change heat storage element,
- substantially an entirety of a second major surface of said second metal plate thermally contacts said second phase-change heat storage element,
- at least one of said first plurality of supports is electrically conductive and electrically interconnects said first metal plate and said second metal plate, and
- said at least one electrically conductive support is substantially orthogonal to said first metal plate and said second metal plate.
