BATTERY COOLING SYSTEM

A battery cooling system includes several battery cooling plates connected to a coolant manifold and coolant chiller. The coolant chiller is configured to remove heat from a flow of coolant that circulates through the battery cooling system. The coolant manifold has a first and a second chamber that both extend in a longitudinal direction and that are spaced apart and separated by an air gap. Thefirst chamber receives a flow of chilled coolant from the coolant chiller, and the second chamber delivers to the coolant chiller a flow of coolant to be chilled. Plastic connectors in one-to-one correspondence with the battery cooling plates are mounted to the coolant manifold to fluidly couple the first and second chambers of the coolant manifold to the battery cooling plates. 一种电池冷却系统包括连接到冷却剂歧管和冷却剂冷却器的多个电池冷却板。冷却剂冷却器被构造成用以从循环通过电池冷却系统的冷却剂流移除热量。冷却剂歧管具有第一室和第二室，这两者沿纵向方向延伸，并且被分离开且由气隙隔开。第一室从冷却剂冷却器接收冷却的冷却剂流，并且第二室将要冷却的冷却剂流传递到冷却剂冷却器。与电池冷却板一一对应的塑料连接器被安装到冷却剂歧管，以将冷却剂歧管的第一室和第二室与电池冷却板流体联接。
