BATTERY MODULE COMPRISING RUBBER COOLING MANIFOLD

摘要

The invention relates to a battery cell assembly. A battery module includes a plurality of battery cell assemblies containing a plurality of heat exchangers. The battery module includes a first rubber cooling manifold arranged to enable a fluid to flow along the inside the plurality of heat exchangers. The first rubber cooling manifold has a first tubular member, a first inlet port, a plurality of first outlet ports, and first and second end caps. The first end cap is coupled to a first end of the first tubular member. The second end cap is coupled to a second end of the first tubular member. The first inlet port is mounted onto a top of the first tubular member so that the fluid flows along the inside of the first tubular member. The plurality of first outlet ports are arranged collinearly in a lengthwise direction along an outer surface of the first tubular member, and spaced apart from each other. The plurality of first outlet ports extend outwardly from the outer surface of the first tubular member. The plurality of first outlet ports enable the fluid to flow along the insides of the plurality of heat exchangers from the first tubular member to cool the plurality of battery cell assemblies.
