Abstract

A vehicle battery assembly includes a housing defining a plenum having an inlet, and a plurality of battery cells disposed within the housing. The plenum has an effective cross-sectional area that decreases as a distance from the inlet increases and is arranged to promote development of generally uniform pressure within the plenum.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to cooling of battery arrays used to propel vehicles, such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), wherein air may be directed through gaps between battery cells within the battery array. Background technique [0002] Electric vehicles (eg, hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, battery electric vehicles, etc.) include a battery pack having one or more battery cells electrically connected together. These battery cells store energy that can be used to move the vehicle. For example, the battery unit may be electrically connected to an electric motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to move the vehicle, and converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy for storage in the battery unit. Providing energy to or dissipating energy from the battery cell causes the battery cell to generate heat. This heat, if not properly dissipated, can prevent proper operation of the battery pack.
