In an embodiment, a cooling manifold for cooling battery modules in a battery housing of an electric vehicle is configured with a predetermined leak component arranged at a defined section of the cooling manifold that is outside of the battery housing. In response to crash forces, the predetermined leak component is configured to cause the liquid coolant to leak out of the defined section of the cooling manifold (e.g., to avoid flooding of the battery housing). In a further embodiment, a controller determines a pressure differential between inlet and outlet sides of a cooling tube of a battery module. A valve is configured to selectively shut off a flow of liquid coolant through the cooling tube based at least in part on whether the determined differential exceeds the threshold (e.g., indicative of a leak condition inside the battery module).
A cooling manifold arrangement for cooling a plurality of battery modules arranged in a plurality of battery module compartments of a battery housing for an energy storage system of an electric vehicle, comprising:
A control mechanism configured to control cooling of a battery module, comprising:
