The present disclosure relates to a plate-like fluid container for the temperature control of an accumulator device for electrical energy or of an electrical consumer, for example in a motor vehicle, having two layers contacting one another at least regionally, an inlet for pouring a fluid into the fluid container, an outlet for discharging the fluid from the fluid container, and a fluid channel system arranged between the layers that connects the inlet to the outlet and is configured to be flowed through by the fluid during the temperature control, wherein a spacing of at least two first channel sections of the fluid channel system extending parallel to one another is larger in a first region of the fluid channel system disposed upstream than a spacing of at least two second channel sections of the fluid channel system extending parallel to one another in a second region of the fluid channel system disposed downstream to improve the temperature control performance of plate-like fluid containers for temperature control.

A heat exchanger with a multi-zone heat transfer surface is disclosed. The heat exchanger includes a fluid flow passage extending between and interconnecting a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A heat transfer surface is disposed within the fluid flow passage wherein the heat transfer surface includes at least one heat transfer-reducing zone disposed in thermal contact with a portion of at least one of the walls of the fluid flow passage and at least one heat transfer-augmenting zone disposed in thermal contact with a portion of the at least one of the walls of the fluid flow passage. The configuration of the heat transfer-augmenting zones with the heat-transfer-reducing zones is such that heat transfer across the surface of the heat exchanger in contact with the heat transfer-augmenting zones is increased relative to the heat transfer across the surface of the heat exchanger in contact with the heat transfer-reducing zones.
