Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage container for temporarily storing a temperature regulating agent and a temperature regulating assembly having such a storage container. Background Art

[0002] The vehicle's battery can be immersion-cooled in a fluid cooling circuit by means of a temperature regulating agent (such as oil). In order to remove undesirable moisture from the temperature regulating agent, it is known to integrate a drying device containing a desiccant in the temperature regulating circuit, which can absorb and store the moisture present in the temperature regulating agent. In a conventional temperature regulating circuit, such a drying device is contained, for example, in a filter device, which is also present in the temperature regulating circuit and is used to separate dirt particles and the like from the temperature regulating agent. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, the task of the present invention is to indicate a new way in the development of a solution for drying the temperature regulating agent for a temperature regulating circuit in an improved manner, said drying being accompanied in particular by a reduced pressure loss in the temperature regulating agent.

[0004] This task is solved by the subject matter of the independent claims. Preferred embodiments are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

[0005] Therefore, the basic idea of the present invention is to provide the drying device described above for absorbing moisture from the temperature regulating agent in a storage container for storing the temperature regulating agent, which is arranged in the temperature regulating circuit. Such a storage container can store a significant amount of the temperature regulating agent in order to compensate for the temperature-induced volume expansion of the cooling system.

[0006] Since such a storage container requires more structural space than the filter device mentioned at the beginning, the drying device can be integrated into the storage container in such a way that the drying device only causes a relatively small pressure loss in the temperature regulating agent, which is at least significantly smaller than in the case of the hitherto implemented arrangement of the drying device in the filter device. Therefore, by means of the solution according to the present invention described above, effective drying of the temperature regulating agent can be achieved with a small pressure loss.

[0007] According to the inventive concept set forth above, a storage container for receiving a temperature regulating agent according to the present invention includes a housing that encloses a housing interior space that can be flowed through by the temperature regulating agent, and the housing interior space is used for temporarily storing the temperature regulating agent. In particular, the temperature regulating agent can be oil. In particular, a temperature regulating agent known to those skilled in the art by the name "Mobil Therm Elite" is considered to be used as a temperature regulating agent or oil for a temperature regulating circuit. If the storage container is arranged in a temperature regulating circuit, the temperature regulating agent received in the housing interior space can be directly used to flow through the temperature regulating circuit. That is, in this case, the housing interior space is directly incorporated into the temperature regulating circuit. In order to be able to incorporate the storage container into the temperature regulating circuit, the storage container includes a fluid inlet that is arranged on the housing and has an inlet opening through which the temperature regulating agent can be introduced into the housing interior space. In addition, the storage container includes a fluid outlet that is also arranged on the housing and has an outlet opening through which the temperature regulating agent can be discharged from the housing interior space.

[0008] Furthermore, the storage container includes a housing opening provided in the housing, and the housing interior space is in fluid communication with the external environment of the housing via the housing opening. That is, the housing opening is provided on the housing in addition to the inlet opening and the outlet opening. In addition, the storage container includes a closing element for closing the housing opening and thus for being arranged in the housing opening. The closing element closes the housing opening in a fluid-tight manner in the state of being arranged in the housing opening. According to the present invention, a drying device is arranged on the closing element for absorbing moisture from the temperature regulating agent present in the housing interior space.

[0009] In the state where the closing element is arranged in the housing opening, the drying device is arranged in the housing interior space. Therefore, the drying device can dehumidify the temperature regulating agent present in or flowing through the housing interior space. Due to the relatively large volume of the housing interior space (especially relative to the filter device mentioned at the beginning), the pressure drop caused in the temperature regulating agent by the drying device is small.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the drying device is configured to be flowed through by the temperature regulating agent. This allows for an efficient interaction between the desiccant present in the drying device and the temperature regulating agent to be dehumidified.

[0011] Particularly preferably, the drying device is partially received in a receiving portion that is provided in the housing interior space and is in fluid communication with the outlet opening, such that the temperature regulating agent flowing through the housing interior space must compulsorily flow through the drying device before reaching the outlet opening. In this way, it is ensured that any temperature regulating agent entering the storage container is dehumidified by means of the drying device. Thereby, particularly effective drying of the temperature regulating agent is achieved.

[0012] According to an advantageous refinement of the storage container according to the invention, the receiving part is configured as an opening flange that protrudes from the housing into the interior space of the housing and protrudes beyond the inlet opening, and the drying device can be partially pushed into or has been pushed into this opening flange. In this way, the drying device can be stably fixed in the interior space of the housing. This has proven to be particularly advantageous if the storage container with the drying device is used in a motor vehicle in which the storage container is exposed to significant external forces, in particular in the form of mechanical shocks and impacts.

[0013] According to another advantageous refinement, the closing element can be configured as a closing bolt that can be screwed into the housing opening. This variant is technically simply constructed and can therefore be realized cost-effectively.

[0014] Particularly preferably, the drying device and the housing opening can be arranged in the interior space of the housing or on the housing in such a way and coordinated with each other that, in the case where the closing element is received in the housing opening, the drying device extends from this closing element into the interior space of the housing. Then, the drying device can act on the temperature control agent stored in the interior space of the housing or flowing through the interior space of the housing. Since no additional structural space is required to arrange the drying part, this embodiment has also proven to be space-saving.

[0015] In another preferred embodiment, the inlet opening and the housing opening can be arranged in the first housing wall part of the housing. In addition, in this embodiment, the outlet opening is arranged in the second housing wall part of the housing opposite to the first housing wall part. Thereby, it can be ensured that most of the temperature control agent present in the storage container, ideally all of the temperature control agent present in the interior space of the housing, also participates in flowing through the temperature control circuit in which the storage container is arranged.

[0016] In another preferred embodiment, the drying device is configured in a long shape and preferably extends along the longitudinal direction away from the first housing wall part towards the second housing wall part. Here, the longitudinal extension dimension of the drying device measured along the longitudinal direction is at least three times the transverse extension dimension measured perpendicular to the longitudinal extension direction.

[0017] Such a configuration requires that the temperature control agent circulating in the temperature control circuit must at least flow through the volume of the interior space of the housing existing between the two housing wall parts, which increases the probability of interaction with the desiccant present in the drying device.

[0018] Another embodiment of the storage container according to the invention has proven to be particularly advantageous, in which, in the preferred orientation of use of the storage container, with respect to the direction of gravity, the first housing wall forms the upper side of the housing and the second housing wall forms the lower side of the housing. This ensures that the air, which is lighter than the temperature control agent and is therefore arranged above the temperature control agent in the interior of the housing, cannot reach the temperature control circuit via this outlet.

[0019] According to another advantageous refinement, the drying device comprises a jacket permeable to the temperature control agent, which jacket surrounds the desiccant for absorbing the moisture contained in the desiccant. A drying device constructed in this way can be realized technically particularly easily and is therefore also cost-effective in terms of manufacturing. In particular, granular desiccants can be used, and zeolites, molecular sieves or silica gel can be used particularly preferably.

[0020] Particularly preferably, the jacket can be made of a flexible material or comprise such a flexible material. Particularly preferably, the jacket can be formed by a bag made of a fibrous material, in particular made of polyester, polyoxymethylene or polyamide, or by a fine mesh sieve made of, in particular, polyester, polyoxymethylene, polyamide or stainless steel.

[0021] Particularly preferably, the drying device is firmly connected to the closure element. This facilitates the "handling" of the drying device with the closure bolt by the worker.

[0022] According to another advantageous refinement, the drying device is constructed as a cartridge which can be detached from the closure element or the closure bolt, which cartridge has a cartridge housing permeable to the temperature control agent, and the desiccant is arranged in the cartridge housing such that it can come into contact with the temperature control agent flowing around the drying device and can thus absorb moisture from the temperature control agent. The construction as a cartridge simplifies the replacement of the drying device, for example when the moisture absorption capacity of the desiccant is exhausted. In this case, the cartridge can be replaced with a replacement cartridge in a simple manner. For this purpose, it is only necessary to remove the closure element or the closure bolt from the housing opening and then detach the cartridge from the closure element or the closure bolt. Correspondingly, a replacement cartridge with unused pressure medium is fastened to the closure element or to the closure bolt and assembled on the housing together with the closure element or the closure bolt.

[0023] Particularly preferably, the drying device is detachably fastened to the closure element by means of a bayonet closure. Such a bayonet closure can be realized technically particularly easily and allows simple disassembly or assembly of the drying device, especially when the drying device is constructed as a cartridge.

[0024] According to an advantageous extension, the snap closure includes a pre-tensioning element, in particular a compression spring, for fixing the drying device to the closure element. The pre-tensioning element or the compression spring compresses the desiccant and prevents mutual friction within the desiccant. In this way, wear and dirt accumulation are resisted.

[0025] Furthermore, the invention relates to a temperature control assembly for temperature control of a component. The temperature control assembly according to the invention includes a temperature control circuit in which a temperature control agent can circulate and in particular circulates during operation. A component to be temperature-controlled is also arranged in the temperature control circuit such that heat can be transferred between the component and the temperature control agent. In addition, the temperature control assembly includes a conveying device, in particular in the form of a fluid pump or an oil pump, for driving the temperature control agent in the temperature control circuit. According to the invention, a storage container for temporarily storing the temperature control agent as proposed above and thus according to the invention is arranged in the temperature control circuit. Therefore, the advantages of the storage container according to the invention described above are also transferred to the temperature control assembly according to the invention.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the temperature control assembly according to the invention, the component to be temperature-controlled is or includes an electric battery, in particular or includes the battery of a motor vehicle, or is or includes a fuel cell system having at least one fuel cell. The fuel cell system can also be part of a motor vehicle or, alternatively, can be a stationary fuel cell system.

[0027] Particularly preferably, the component to be temperature-controlled can be arranged in the temperature control circuit in such a way that it can be directly flowed around by the temperature control agent. This type of temperature control or cooling is called "immersion cooling" and allows particularly efficient temperature control or cooling of the component. Description of the Drawings

[0028] Other important features and advantages of the invention result from the dependent claims, the drawings and the associated description of the drawings.

[0029] It should be understood that the features mentioned above and to be described below can be used not only in the combinations given accordingly, but also in other combinations or individually, without departing from the framework of the invention.

[0030] Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings and are explained in more detail in the following description, wherein the same reference numerals refer to the same or similar or functionally identical components.

[0031] The drawings schematically show respectively:

[0032] Figure 1 An example of the storage container according to the invention is shown in a sectional view.

[0033] Figure 2 An example of a temperature control circuit according to the invention is shown in a roughly schematic diagram in the form of a circuit diagram. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] Figure 1 A storage container 1 according to the present invention for temporarily storing a temperature control agent T is shown in a cross-sectional view by way of example. The storage container 1 includes a housing 2, which encloses a housing interior 3 through which the temperature control agent T can flow and is used to receive the temperature control agent T. Furthermore, the storage container 1 includes a fluid inlet 5, which is arranged on the housing 2 and has an inlet opening 4 for introducing the temperature control agent T into the housing interior 3. Furthermore, the storage container 1 includes a fluid outlet 7, which is also arranged on the housing 2 and has an outlet opening 6 for discharging the temperature control agent T from the housing interior 3.

[0035] exist Figure 1 In the exemplary embodiment, the inlet opening 4 and the housing opening 8 are arranged in a first housing wall 15a of the housing 2. In contrast, the outlet opening 6 is arranged in a second housing wall 15b of the housing 2 opposite the first housing wall 15a.

[0036] Expediently, in the preferred usage orientation of the storage container 1 , with reference to the direction of gravity G, the first housing wall 15 a forms the upper side 16 of the housing 2 , while the second housing wall 15 b forms the lower side 17 of the housing 2 .

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, due to gravity, the temperature control agent T is arranged in the lower area of the housing interior 3. In the shown usage position of the storage container 1, air L can be arranged above the temperature control agent T in the housing interior 3 as a compensation volume (see Figure 1 ). When the temperature control agent expands, for example due to temperature, the air L can be compressed by the temperature control agent T. In order to ensure that the air L remains in the housing interior 3 of the storage container 1 and cannot escape from the storage container 1 via the outlet 6, the outlet 6 is arranged in the lower side 17 of the housing 2. Figure 1 As shown, a pipe connection 31 can protrude from the inlet opening 5 or from the inlet 4 into the housing interior 3 , via which the temperature control agent T is introduced into a region 32 of the housing interior 3 arranged below the air L and filled with the temperature control agent T. This prevents turbulence from occurring in the air L located above in the housing interior 3 , which could also be accompanied by an undesired discharge of the air L from the storage container 1 .

[0038] according to Figure 1, the storage container 1 includes a housing opening 8 provided in the housing 2, and the interior space 3 of the housing is in fluid communication with the external environment 9 of the housing 2 via this housing opening. The housing opening 8 is additionally provided on the housing 2 in addition to the inlet opening 5 and the outlet opening 7.

[0039] Furthermore, the storage container 1 includes a closing element 10 for closing the housing opening 8 and can be arranged or arranged in the housing opening 8 for this purpose. Suitably, the closing element 10 can be configured as a closing bolt 14 that can be screwed into the housing opening 8. In the state of being arranged in the housing opening 8, the closing element 10 closes the housing opening 8 in a fluid-tight manner. A drying device 11 is arranged on the closing element 10 for absorbing moisture from the conditioning agent T present in the interior space 3 of the housing and hitting the drying device 11. In this example, the drying device 11 is firmly connected to the closing element 10. Therefore, in the state where the closing element 10 is arranged in the housing opening 8, the drying device 11 is arranged in the interior space 3 of the housing. Preferably, as Figure 1 shown in the example scenario, the drying device 11 and the housing opening 8 are arranged and coordinated such that when the closing element 10 is received in the housing opening 8, the drying device 11 extends from this closing element into the interior space 3 of the housing.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, the drying device 11 is configured in a elongated manner and extends along the longitudinal direction L away from the first housing wall portion 15a towards the second housing wall portion 15b, and this longitudinal direction preferably extends parallel to the direction G of gravity G. The drying device 11 can be partially received in a receiving portion 12 provided in the interior space 3 of the housing and in fluid communication with the outlet opening 6. The receiving portion 12 is configured such that when the drying device 11 is received in the receiving portion 12, the conditioning agent T flowing through the interior space 3 of the housing must compulsorily flow through the drying device 11 before reaching the outlet opening 6. As Figure 1 shown, the receiving portion 12 can be configured as an opening flange that protrudes from the housing 2 into the interior space 3 of the housing and protrudes beyond the inlet opening 4, and the drying device 11 can be partially inserted or pushed into this opening flange.

[0041] As Figure 1As shown, the drying device 11 is configured as a cartridge 18 that can be detached from the closure element 10 or the closure bolt 10. The cartridge has a cartridge housing 19 that is permeable to the temperature control agent T. A desiccant 26 (such as zeolite, molecular sieve, or silica gel) is arranged in the cartridge housing such that the desiccant can come into contact with the temperature control agent T flowing around the drying device 11 and can thus absorb moisture from the temperature control agent T. The drying device 11 can be detachably fastened to the closure element 10 by means of a bayonet closure 27. The bayonet closure 27 can in turn have a spring-elastic pre-tensioning element 33 in the form of a compression spring 34, by means of which the drying device 11 can be fixed to the closure element 10.

[0042] Preferably, the drying device 11 is configured to be flowed through by the temperature control agent. For this purpose, in a variant not shown in the drawings, the drying device 11 can have a jacket that is permeable to the temperature control agent T and that surrounds a granular desiccant 26 for absorbing the moisture contained in the temperature control agent T, such as zeolite, molecular sieve, or silica gel. The jacket can be made of a flexible material that is permeable to the temperature control agent. The jacket can be formed by a bag made of a fibrous material, such as polyester, polyoxymethylene, or polyamide, or by a fine mesh screen made of, for example, polyester, polyoxymethylene, polyamide, or stainless steel.

[0043] In Figure 1 the example of, the housing 2 includes two partition walls 30a, 30b that divide the interior space 3 of the housing into first, second, and third sub-spaces 3a, 3b, 3c. The partition walls 30a, 30b each extend from the upper side 6 to the lower side 7 and thus extend along a vertical direction V that is parallel to the direction of gravity G. Suitably, as shown, the two partition walls 30a, 30b are integrally formed on the housing 2, which means that the two partition walls 30a, 30b and the housing 2 are constructed in one piece and from a single material.

[0044] To ensure that all of the temperature control agent 1 present in the storage container 1 can also be used to flow through the temperature control circuit 21 in which the storage container 1 is arranged (see Figure 2 ), notches 13 can be provided at appropriate locations in the two partition walls 30a, 30b through which the first sub-space 3a can be in fluid communication with the second sub-space 3b or the second sub-space 3b can be in fluid communication with the third sub-space 3c. Similarly, as Figure 1As shown, a notch 13 can be provided in the second partition wall 30b. Through this notch, the air L present in the second sub-space 3b can be in fluid communication with the air L present in the third sub-space 3c. With the aid of the two partition walls 30a, 30b and the division of the inner space 3 of the housing into three separate sub-spaces 3a, 3b, 3c here, it resists the undesired movement of the temperature control agent T in the sense of "reciprocating sloshing" and resists the possible discharge of the air L from the storage container 1 here.

[0045] Figure 2 An example of the temperature control assembly 20 according to the present invention is shown in a circuit diagram-like illustration. The temperature control assembly 20 includes a temperature control circuit 21. When the temperature control assembly 20 is operating, the temperature control agent T circulates in this temperature control circuit, and the component 22 to be temperature-controlled is arranged in this temperature control circuit. In this way, heat can be transferred between the component 22 and the temperature control agent T. Thus, the component 22 can be temperature-controlled, that is, especially also cooled.

[0046] For example, the component 22 to be temperature-controlled can be the battery 24 of an electric vehicle with a battery. However, the component 22 to be temperature-controlled can also be a fuel cell system having one or more fuel cells 29. As Figure 2 shown, in this exemplary scenario, the component 22 to be temperature-controlled, that is, the battery 24, is arranged in the temperature control circuit 21 in such a way that it can be directly flowed around by the temperature control agent T.

[0047] For this purpose, the battery 24 can have a battery housing 28 through which the temperature control agent T can flow, and the battery cells 29 to be temperature-controlled are arranged in this battery housing. Therefore, the temperature control agent T flowing through the battery housing 28 can absorb heat from the battery cells 29 when these battery cells should be cooled, or can release heat to the battery cells 29 when these battery cells should be heated. This type of temperature control or cooling is called "immersion cooling".

[0048] In addition, the temperature control assembly 20 includes a conveying device 23 for driving the temperature control agent T in the temperature control circuit 21. For example, this conveying device can be a fluid pump or an oil pump.

[0049] As Figure 2 shown, the temperature control assembly 20 further includes a storage container 1 according to the present invention arranged in the temperature control circuit 21, as described above according to Figure 2 exemplarily. If a certain amount of the temperature control agent has flowed out of the temperature control circuit 21 due to leakage or other reasons previously, the storage container 1 can also be used as a compensation container to supply additional temperature control agent T to the temperature control circuit 21.

[0050] Additionally, a heat exchanger 25 through which the temperature control agent T can flow may be arranged in the temperature control circuit 21. The heat exchanger 25 may first be flowed through by the fluid F separately from the temperature control agent T, and this fluid may be thermally coupled to the temperature control agent T within the heat exchanger 25. In this way, heat can be transferred from the temperature control agent T to the fluid F in order to cool the temperature control agent T, or conversely, when the temperature control agent T is to be heated, heat can be transferred from the fluid F to the temperature control agent T.
