发明名称 Duct to influence air cooling distribution to battery module and DC/DC module
摘要 A vehicle is provided including a battery module, a DC/DC converter module portioned from the battery module, a duct, one blower, and a jumper duct. The battery module includes inlet and outlet ports. The DC/DC converter module includes inlet and outlet ports. A duct is arranged to direct cooling air into each of the inlet ports. The blower is arranged to draw cooling air from the duct, through the modules, and out the outlet ports. The jumper duct is arranged up stream of the blower with the converter outlet port, and configured to reduce an effective cross sectional area of the converter outlet port to define a flow rate of the cooling air into the battery inlet port.

主权项 1. A vehicle comprising: a traction battery module including battery inlet and outlet ports; a DC/DC converter module partitioned from the traction battery module and including converter inlet and outlet ports; a duct arranged to direct cooling air into each of the inlet ports; no more than one blower arranged to draw cooling air from the duct, through the modules, and out the outlet ports; and a jumper duct arranged up stream of the blower with the converter outlet port, and configured to reduce an effective cross sectional area of the converter outlet port to define a flow rate of the cooling air into the battery inlet port less than a flow rate of the cooling air into the converter inlet port.
