Abstract
A thermal management module for electric vehicles, which includes a reservoir and a manifold, wherein the thermal management module is composed of two half-shells, each having a manifold half-shell and a reservoir half-shell as a single piece, the two half-shells being joined together. The half-shells may be joined along a common joining seam arranged in one plane. The joining seam may be arranged vertically in an installed state of the thermal management module.
Claims16
A thermal management module for electric vehicles, comprising:
- a reservoir comprising a reservoir inlet and a reservoir outlet;
- and
- a manifold comprising a plurality of ports to supply a cooling fluid within the reservoir to external devices, wherein the thermal management module is composed of two half-shells, each further comprising a manifold half-shell and a reservoir half-shell as a single piece, the two half-shells being joined together, and wherein the reservoir outlet supplies the cooling fluid within the reservoir to the manifold.
A thermal management module for electric vehicles, comprising:
- a reservoir;
- and
- a manifold, wherein the thermal management module is composed of two half-shells. each further comprising a manifold half-shell and a reservoir half-shell as a single piece, the two half-shells being joined together, wherein the reservoir further comprises a reservoir inlet, a reservoir outlet and a plurality of horizontal walls configured to guide a cooling fluid along a meandering path from the reservoir inlet to the reservoir outlet, wherein the plurality of horizontal walls is arranged such that each of the plurality of horizontal walls is inclined at an angle relative to a horizontal plane, sloping down towards a center of the reservoir.
A thermal management module for electric vehicles, comprising:
- a reservoir;
- and
- a manifold, wherein the thermal management module is composed of two half-shells, each further comprising a manifold half-shell and a reservoir half-shell as a single piece, the two half-shells being joined together, wherein the reservoir further comprises two fluid fill level sensor pins configured to detect whether a fluid fill level is below a predetermined minimum fluid fill level, and wherein the two fluid fill level sensor pins are arranged substantially vertically one above another and project horizontally from at least one of the two half-shells in a direction of a center of the reservoir.
