Abstract
A battery cooling element, a battery module, and a method for manufacturing a battery cooling element. The battery cooling element has a flexible top side in the form of a flexible multilayer composite film. To cool a battery cell and/or a battery module, the heat transfer from the battery cell and/or the battery module into a cooling medium takes place through the comparatively low-cost and lightweight multilayer composite film, which has a high heat transfer coefficient.
Claims19
A battery cooling element for a traction battery, the battery cooling element comprising:
- a main body, and
- a multilayer composite film including:
- a first outwardly oriented plastic material layer, and
- a metal material layer covered by the first plastic material layer, the metal material layer to improve electromagnetic compatibility,
- wherein the main body and the multilayer composite film at least partially enclose an interior of the battery cooling element for receiving a cooling medium, the interior being connected to a cooling medium inflow and a cooling medium outflow,
- wherein the multilayer composite film is three-dimensionally shaped,
- wherein the first plastic material layer includes one or more of polyethylene (PE), polyamide (PA), or polypropylene (PP), and
- wherein the multilayer composite film has a first region to contact at least a portion of the traction battery and a second region to couple the multilayer composite film to the main body, the first region having a higher heat transfer coefficient than the second region, the second region being adjacent to the first region.
