Battery Pack BDU Heat Conduction Plate for Compact Cooling

A heat conductive plate is introduced as an intermediary component between the heating element and the external environment. The plate thermally couples with the heating element through direct contact and conducts heat to its outer surface, enabling efficient heat transfer without requiring complex active cooling systems. This resolves the contradiction by providing effective heat dissipation through a simple passive thermal conduction mechanism.

The heat conductive plate extends the heat dissipation path from a three-dimensional internal cooling approach to a two-dimensional surface conduction approach. By conducting heat laterally across the plate to its outer surface, the system achieves efficient heat dissipation without requiring additional internal space, thus maintaining compact component arrangement while improving thermal management.

The heat conductive plate serves as a thermal intermediary that is electrically isolated from the heating element. It thermally couples with the heating element through direct contact to conduct heat away, while its electrically insulating nature prevents electrical short circuits. This resolves the contradiction by providing both efficient heat dissipation and electrical safety through the plate's dual properties.

The heat conductive plate performs multiple functions: it conducts heat from the heating element, provides electrical insulation, and serves as a structural component that can be integrated into the housing assembly. By making the second side accessible outside the housing, the plate simultaneously achieves efficient heat dissipation and can be thermally coupled with external structures like the battery pack's bottom protective plate, reducing overall system complexity.
