摘要： A modular heat exchanger for battery thermal management having a plurality of similarly constructed heat exchange elements affixed to a cover plate and fluidly coupled with one another via a single external manifold structure that functions as both an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold for each of the heat exchange elements. Rigidity is improved with alternating tabs or overlapping tabs between adjacent elements, and/or side edges between adjacent elements having cutouts for receiving stiffening ribs formed in the cover plate. The external manifold structure provides additional stiffening for the interconnected heat exchange elements.

摘要： A heat exchanger has a pair of opposed walls and an interior space between the walls, and first and second areas located on opposite sides of a longitudinal axis, each adapted for thermal contact with a battery cell. Inlet and outlet ports are provided in the respective first and second areas, and a flow barrier extends along the longitudinal axis and separates the first and second areas. Fluid flow passages are defined in the first and second areas. A first crossover passage extends across the longitudinal axis from the inlet port to an inlet flow passage in the second area. A second crossover passage extends across the longitudinal axis from an outlet flow passage in the first area to the outlet port. A crossover housing is provided inside or outside the interior space and extends across the longitudinal axis, enclosing at least one of the first and second crossover passages.
