Title:
TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED BATTERY CONFIGURATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/053689
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A vehicle includes a body adapted to carry passengers or cargo, an electric engine/motor, and a temperature-controlled battery configuration. The battery configuration includes a casing, and a plurality of alternating Lithium-ion cell packs and spacers defining vertical channels, the spacers supporting the cell packs in a hanging manner in the casing. The casing is flooded with a thermally-conductive electrically-insulating fluid flowing from the inlet under the cell packs, upwardly across the cell packs and out an outlet to a heat exchanger for controlling a temperature of the cell packs. A fluid pump connected to the engine/motor and a heat exchanger pumps the liquid through the system. A controller is provided for controlling the pump and fluid flow to control a temperature of the battery configuration to maintain the temperature in a desired temperature range.
