    摘要: A battery cooler assembly having a frame with a pair of opposed parallel walls, with each wall having a ledge extending outwardly from the wall. A heat exchanger positioned between the walls, and having a plate pair together defining a fluid flow channel permitting fluid flow from an inlet to an outlet on the heat exchanger. One or more battery modules positioned on the heat exchanger. A plurality of support structures engage the heat exchanger and positioned between the walls; and extend from a first edge to a second end of the heat exchanger, where the first edge is proximate to one of the walls and the second edge is proximate to the other wall. The plurality of support structures engaging the one or more battery modules reducing stress on the heat exchanger.

    摘要: A cold plate heat exchanger for battery thermal management has first and second plates defining a plurality of fluid flow passages, with inlet and outlet ports proximate to a first end thereof. Each fluid flow passage has first and second ends communicating with respective inlet and outlet ports. One or more portions of each fluid flow passage are immediately adjacent to and in close proximity to a portion of another fluid flow passage or channel, such that heat energy will be transferred by conduction through the first and second plates between the fluid flow passages or channels, thereby providing enhanced heat transfer. The fluid flow passages or channels may be separated by a distance which is less than a width of one of the fluid flow passages or channels, and may be separated by a single rib which partially defines each of the fluid flow passages or channels.

    摘要: A heat exchanger having a plurality of heat exchanger plate pairs. Each plate has a longitudinal central planar portion and a peripheral edge portion extending from it. The plate is provided with a first boss and a second boss having an inlet and outlet, respectively. A rib is also provided extending from the peripheral edge portion to the central planar portion, the rib having a mating surface, where the rib mating surface of a first plate in a first plate pair is in contact with a rib mating surface of a second plate in an adjacent plate pair.
