1. A battery cooler, comprising:
at least one support plate; and at least one structure plate coupled to the at least one support plate, the at least one structure plate including a flow channel for receiving a fluid therein, the flow channel including a plurality of sections forming a multiple counter flow configuration, the plurality of sections including a first section extending adjacent a first side of the structure plate as an inlet section having a fluid-inlet connection portion for receiving the fluid into the flow channel, a second section extending adjacent a second side of the structure plate opposite the first side, and a third section positioned between the first section and the second section as an outlet section having a fluid-outlet connection portion for conveying the fluid from the flow channel, wherein the first section is directly connected only to the second section wherein the fluid flows in order through the first section, the second section, and the third section of the flow channel, the flow channel including a plurality of webs, wherein one of the webs is disposed adjacent another one of the webs in respect of a direction along a length of the structure plate, and the webs decrease the cross-section of the flow channel, wherein the sections of the flow channel are separated from each other by a plurality of channel boundaries, and a plurality of bulges are provided to the respective channel boundaries to provide connection areas for brazing, and wherein the inlet section having the fluid-inlet connection portion is adjacent the outlet section having the fluid-outlet connection portion; wherein the inlet section extends from the fluid-inlet connection portion adjacent a first lengthwise end of the structure plate to adjacent a second lengthwise end of the structure plate in a direction with respect to the length of the structure plate and the outlet section extends in parallel with the inlet section from adjacent the second lengthwise end to the fluid-outlet connection portion adjacent the first lengthwise end of the structure plate in a direction with respect to the length of the structure plate, wherein the inlet section and the outlet section share a common channel boundary among the plurality of channel boundaries, and wherein the plurality of channel boundaries contacts the fluid received in the flow channel. |
