US 2010/0136403 A1 · ELECTRIC FACILITY OPERATING ACCORDING TO GALVANIC PRINCIPLES

Abstract

The invention relates to a facility (10, 20) operating according to galvanic principles such as particularly a battery, respectively an accumulator, in particular a lithium-ion battery, and assemblies thereof. The facility comprises a housing (12), at least one first current conductor (14), which protrudes from the housing (12), and at least one first heat conducting facility (24), which is connected to the first current conductor (14) in heat flow communication, and which is developed such to conduct thermal energy from the first current conductor (14). A first facility (110) and a second facility (120) are arranged in a flat basis module such that a first housing (112) of the first facility (110) shares a plane with a second housing (113) of the second facility (120), and that the housing surface of the first housing from which the second current conductor protrudes faces the housing surface of the second facility from which the first current conductor of the second facility protrudes, wherein the second current conductor (116) of the first facility (110) may be connected in electric contact to the first current conductor (115) of the second facility. A heat conducting facility (124) is connected in heat flow communication to the second current conductor (116) of the first facility (110), or with the first current conductor (115) of the second facility (120) for conducting thermal energy. Several facilities and/or flat basis modules may be spatially compactedly assembled in stacks in electric serial connection or parallel connection, respectively parallel stacks, wherein heat by means of heat conducting facilities may be dissipated from the current conductors.
