A housing for a traction battery of a hybrid or electric vehicle may include at least two housing parts and at least one coolant tube. The at least two housing parts may include a first housing part and a second housing part, which are separate from one another. Each of the housing parts may include a bottom and a plurality of side walls perpendicularly projecting from the bottom. The at least one coolant tube may be arranged between a first side wall of the first housing part and a second side wall of the second housing part. The at least two housing parts may each be glued to the at least one coolant tube via a respective adhesive layer of a plurality of adhesive layers such that the at least two housing parts are connected to one another via the at least one coolant tube.

Housing for a traction battery

A battery module for a traction battery may include a module housing through which a coolant is flowable and at least one battery cell stack arranged within an interior space of the module housing. The at least one battery cell stack may include a plurality of battery cells arranged one after another along a stack direction. The plurality of battery cells may be arranged within the module housing such that a coolant flowable through the module housing directly contacts the plurality of battery cells. A locking mechanism may form-fittingly connect the at least one battery cell stack to the module housing via (i) a plurality of housing-side locking points and (ii) a plurality of stack-side locking points.

Battery module and a traction battery

A fuel filter of an internal combustion engine has a filter housing in which water separated from the fuel may collect within the filter so as to permit collection of the largest possible quantity of separated water in the smallest possible overall volume. This fuel filter has a liquid line which leads out of an area of the filter housing that is exposed to fuel and in which separated water can settle out due to gravity into a water collecting chamber situated outside the filter housing. There is also an upper area of the water collecting chamber which is connected by a connecting line mounted there to a fuel delivery line of the internal combustion engine.
