Abstract

The invention provides a temperature-control element (5) with two covering plates (8) which are arranged at a distance from one another and delimit an intermediate space within which a supporting structure (23) is arranged, said supporting structure keeping the covering plates (8) at a distance from one another, wherein a sorption material (7) which makes contact with the covering plates (8) and the supporting structure (23) is additionally accommodated in the intermediate space. A temperature-control element (5) of this kind allows particularly good transfer of thermal energy between the sorption material (7) and the covering plates (8) by way of the supporting structure (23) not only serving to mechanically connect the covering plates (8) and therefore provide structural strength to the temperature-control element (5) but also causing a transfer of thermal energy between the sorption material (7) and the covering plates (8). As a result, a temperature-control element (5) according to the invention is advantageously also suitable for directly controlling the temperature of, for example, one or more battery cells of a battery cell unit, for example of a traction battery of an electrified motor vehicle.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling the temperature of a battery arrangement made up of at least one battery cell by means of a cyclically operated adsorption heat pump, consisting of an adsorber and a phase converter with a working medium circulated between the adsorber and the phase converter, wherein the at least one battery cell is brought into thermal contact with an adsorbent of the adsorber and the temperature of the battery cell is controlled in that the battery arrangement picks up adsorption heat and gives off desorption heat, wherein the heat released in the phase converter during a condensation process of the working medium and the heat picked up during an evaporation process of the working medium is dissipated to the environment and supplied from the latter. The method is characterized in that the battery arrangement and the adsorber are, if necessary, brought into thermal contact, via an auxiliary fluid circuit, with a heat transfer fluid circulated in the auxiliary fluid circuit, wherein the heat transfer fluid is brought into thermal contact with external heat sources and/or heat sinks, wherein the battery arrangement is supplied, if necessary, with thermal energy from external heat sources via the auxiliary fluid circuit or thermal energy is withdrawn from the battery arrangement via the auxiliary fluid circuit and dissipated to external heat sources.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling the temperature of a battery assembly, wherein the battery assembly is thermally coupled to an integrated sorption heat storage means. In a desorption phase of the sorption heat storage means, a heating of the sorption material occurs with a desorption of a fluid during a heat output of the battery assembly during an electrical discharging and/or electrical charging. A condensation of the fluid desorbed from the sorption material occurs in a condenser with a heat sink. An independent heating of the battery can be carried out with a resorption of the fluid in the sorption material. The invention also relates to a device for controlling the temperature of a battery assembly, comprising a sorption heat storage means that is thermally coupled to the battery assembly and having a fluid and a sorption material, wherein the battery assembly is designed as a heat source for thermally heating the sorption material contained in the sorption heat storage means for the desorption of the fluid, and wherein the sorption heat storage means is designed as a heat source for an independent heating of the battery via a resorption of the fluid in the sorption material.
