An air displacer for a traction battery of a motor vehicle is configured such that, in the installed state in a battery housing of the traction battery, it at least partially fills a free volume in the battery housing and thereby at least partially displaces air in the battery housing in the event of heat generation inside the housing. The air displacer includes a vacuum bag; a foam that can be expanded using air, which is arranged in the vacuum bag; and a manually opening air inlet point. The air displacer can be transferred from an initial state in which the vacuum bag is evacuated in the closed state of the air inlet point and the foam in the vacuum bag is compressed, into an end state provided for the installed state in which air flows through the vacuum bag by manually opening the air inlet point and the foam is thereby expanded.

Air displacer, traction battery, production method and motor vehicle

A high-voltage accumulator battery module includes a first connection component adjacent to a plate-shaped frame component remotely from a heat sink. The first connection component includes at least one of: an inlet first connection unit having a fluid inlet connected to a cooling channel system via an inlet fluid line connecting the fluid inlet to an inlet second connection unit connected to the cooling channel system, and an outlet first connection unit having a fluid outlet connected to the cooling channel system via an outlet fluid line connecting the fluid outlet to an outlet second connection unit connected to the cooling channel system. A second connection component is adjacent to the plate-shaped frame component at the heat sink side, and includes at least one of: the inlet second connection unit, and the outlet second connection unit. A clamping device clamps the first and second connection components against each other.

Battery module and high-voltage accumulator

A method is provided for producing an assembly for an energy supply system, having an energy storage module and a plate-shaped cooling element. Between a contact side of the energy storage module and a contact side of the cooling element, a deformable, adhesive heat conducting layer is applied. Subsequently, the energy storage module and the cooling element are pressed together, wherein by way of the heat conducting layer, a dimensionally stable adhesive connection between the energy storage module and the cooling element is produced, which permanently connects the energy storage module to the cooling element. By way of the adhesive connection, the contact side of the energy storage module is bonded with the contact side of the cooling element in a planar, material-fit, durable, and dimensionally stable manner such that the energy storage module and the cooling element form a structural unit.
