Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A high-voltage battery having a plurality of battery modules, coolant-carrying heat sinks for cooling the battery modules, a coolant supply line for supplying the coolant to the heat sinks via supply connections and discharge connections for discharging the coolant from the heat sinks to a coolant discharge line. In this high-voltage battery, the supply connections and the discharge connections respectively form a coolant distributor. The respective coolant distributor is connected to the heat sinks of the respective battery module.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A high-voltage battery comprising: a plurality of battery modules, coolant-carrying heat sinks for cooling the battery modules, supply connections fluidly interconnecting the heat sinks to a coolant supply line, and discharge connections fluidly interconnecting the heat sinks to a coolant discharge line, wherein the supply connections and the discharge connections respectively form a coolant distributor, wherein the respective coolant distributor is connected to the heat sinks of the respective battery module. 2 . The high-voltage battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the respective coolant distributor is of one-part design. 3 . The high-voltage battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coolant distributors and/or the coolant supply line and/or the coolant discharge line are composed of plastic. 4 . The high-voltage battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein connection regions of the supply connections to the heat sinks and/or connection regions of the discharge connections to the heat sinks are arranged in the same spatial direction (y) or the same spatial plane (y, z). 5 . The high-voltage battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein connection regions of the supply connections to the coolant supply line and/or connection regions of the discharge connections to the coolant discharge line are arranged in the same spatial direction (y) or the same spatial plane (y, z). 6 . The high-voltage battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coolant distributors have a flexibly mounted connection region. 7 . The high-voltage battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coolant distributors are connected to the heat sinks and/or the coolant supply line and/or the coolant discharge line by plug-in connections. 8 . The high-voltage battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the heat sinks are arranged on averted sides of the respective battery module. 9 . The high-voltage battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the respective battery module has two heat sinks. 10 . The high-voltage battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the respective heat sink, through which coolant flows, is a plate heat exchanger. 11 . The high-voltage battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supply connections and the discharge connections of the respective battery module are arranged on averted sides of the battery module. 12 . The high-voltage battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the heat sinks of the respective battery module make surface-to-surface contact with said respective battery module. 13 . The high-voltage battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the heat sinks of the respective battery module are connected to said respective battery module.
