Battery System Frame, Housing and Method for Receiving at Least One First and at Least One Adjacent Second Battery Module in a Vehicle for Forming a Battery System

A battery system the system comprising:

• a first battery module;
• and
• a second battery module adjacent to the first battery module;
• wherein the first battery module and the second battery module are each formed of multiple battery cells arranged in two separate housings comprising a fire-resistant, thermally insulating material;
• a pressure relief arrangement acting on the two housings;
• the two housings each include a fire-resistant interface for connection and operation of the respective battery module;
• the two housings are each configured such that an exhaust gas port is connected to each pressure relief arrangement such that gases emitted by the pressure relief arrangement can be discharged through the exhaust gas port using a fire-resistant exhaust air device;
• the respective housing, the interface, and/or the pressure relief arrangement are configured so the respective battery module is at least temporarily hermetically sealed;
• an open support structure for accommodating the first battery module and the second battery module configured with a multiplicity of air gaps formed between the housing of the first battery module and adjoining surfaces thermally connected to the second battery modules, and the multiplicity of air gaps are connected and configured to form a structure dissipating heat given off by the respective battery module with a chimney effect.
