Abstract:
The present invention relates to a heat exchanger arrangement (4) arranged to be mounted to a vehicle (1). The heat exchanger arrangement (4) is arranged to conduct heat from at least one component (2, 3) in the vehicle (1) to ambient air. The heat exchanger arrangement (4) is arranged to be expandable from a first state (S1) to a second state (S2). Furthermore, the heat exchanger arrangements volume and heat conductivity is increased when the heat exchanger arrangement (4) is expended from the first state (S1) to the second state (S2).The present invention also relates to a corresponding method.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an arrangement (10) for performing at least one of disconnecting and bypassing electric equipment(11). The arrangement (10) comprises a device (13) arranged to measure the electric property of a conductive path (12) to which the electric equipment (11) is connected and to transmit a control signal responsive to whether a value of the measured signal fulfils a predetermined threshold criteria. The arrangement (10) further comprises at least one switching element (14a, 14b) arranged to receive the control signal to perform at least of one of disconnecting and bypassing the electric equipment (11) from the conductive path(12), when the predetermined threshold criteria is fulfilled.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for disconnecting one or more battery modules in an automotive battery. The arrangement for disconnecting at least one of a plurality of battery modules(11, 12, 13)in an automotive battery (10) comprises a device (14) arranged to detect that said at least one battery module is to be disconnected, and a bypass switch (15, 16, 17) arranged at each battery module, wherein the bypass switch arranged at the detected at least one battery module is controllable to bypass the at least one detected battery module via a bypass path. The arrangement further comprises a disconnect switch (21, 22, 23) arranged at each battery module, wherein the disconnect switch arranged at the at least one bypassed battery module is controllable to disconnect the at least one detected battery module from remaining battery modules, either simultaneously as, or after, the bypassing of the detected battery module.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vehicle thermal management system (5, 5', 5'', 5''', 5'''') which comprises a pipe arrangement (6) and is arranged to cool a vehicle battery unit 5 (2) by means of a coolant that is arranged to run in the pipe arrangement (6) through a part of, or adjacent to, the vehicle battery unit (2). The thermal management system (5, 5', 5'', 5''', 5'''') further comprises at least one pyrotechnical charge (12; 29a-29h; 35) which is positioned in an auxiliary 10 coolant unit (13, 13', 13'', 13''', 13'''') which is arranged to provide an enhanced flow (20, 31, 37, 38, 61) of at least one type of coolant when the pyrotechnical charge (12; 29a- 29h; 35) is detonated (18, 36). 15 The present invention also relates to a corresponding method.

Abstract:
There is disclosed a battery safety arrangement for a motor vehicle, the arrangement being operable to extinguish a battery fire and comprising. The arrangement comprises a battery unit (1) having a housing (2) defining an interior volume (3) containing at least one electric cell (4) and a separate internal pressure vessel (5). The pressure vessel (5) is exposed to the internal temperature of the interior volume (3) and contains a volume of compressed extinguishing medium at a pressure which is dependant on said internal temperature. The pressure vessel (5) is initially closed by a closure arrangement (9) which is configured to open upon an increase in said pressure corresponding to an increase in said internal temperature above a threshold temperature value to thereby release said extinguishing medium from said pressure vessel (5) for flow into said interior volume (3) of the housing (2).
