Abstract

A liquid cooled charging cable system may be provided. The liquid cooled charging cable system may comprise a source, a load, a liquid cooled charging cable, and a cooling device. The liquid cooled charging cable may connect the source to the load, and may supply electric energy from the source to the load. The liquid cooled charging cable may comprise a supply conductor and a return conductor. The cooling device may pump a coolant around the supply conductor and the return conductor where the supply conductor and the return conductor may be immersed in the coolant.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus comprising:
an output terminal tab;
a first output terminal tube attached to the output terminal tab, the first output terminal tube comprising;
a first output terminal tube port,
a first output terminal tube first end, and
a first output terminal tube second end disposed inside the output terminal tab;

a second output terminal tube attached to the output terminal tab, the second output terminal tube comprising;
a second output terminal tube port,
a second output terminal tube first end, and
a second output terminal tube second end disposed inside the output terminal tab; and

a fluid pathway extending from the first output terminal tube port through an interior of the first output terminal tube, into an interior of the output terminal tab, though an interior of the second output terminal tube, to the second output terminal tube port.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first output terminal tube further comprises a plurality of first output terminal tube barbs.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second output terminal tube further comprises a plurality of second output terminal tube barbs.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the output terminal tab further comprises an output terminal tab opening.
