摘要:
The present invention relates to a battery pack in which a plurality of chargeable/dischargeable battery cells or unit modules (unit cells) are embedded in a pack case. The unit cells are sequentially stacked in the direction (Z-direction) parallel to the ground to form a single battery module, such that a space for the flow of a refrigerant is provided between unit cells. Two or more battery modules, in which the communication of a refrigerant between the battery modules is blocked, are arranged in the horizontal direction (X-direction) on a plane with respect to the refrigerant inlet direction of a refrigerant inlet to form a battery module group. The refrigerant flow space (refrigerant inlet portion), ranging from the refrigerant inlet to the battery module group, and the refrigerant flow space (refrigerant outlet portion), ranging from the battery module group to a refrigerant outlet, are formed in the pack case. The refrigerant flow channel between the refrigerant inlet portion and the refrigerant outlet portion is configured such that the refrigerant fed through the refrigerant inlet portion passes through each of specific battery modules in the vertical direction (Y-direction) on a plane to cool the specific battery modules, and then the refrigerant is discharged through the refrigerant outlet portion.
