Disclosed herein, is a battery module that comprises an encapsulant material exhibiting improved thermal transfer and heat dissipation characteristics. In one example embodiment, the battery module comprises a 'stack' of cells, wherein at least some of the cells, and optionally each cell, is not separated by a metal plate or tab-shaped heat sink layer, and instead, the cells are substantially surrounded by an encapsulant material and stacked directly upon one another.

Battery module with heat dissipating encapsulant material and methods therefor

A vehicle having an HVAC system with a particular ventilation housing design and method for making the same are described. The ventilation housing has a common mode door for defrost and floor panels and allows efficient use of components to provide effective operation in bi-level and other modes. In bi-level mode, the mode doors can be operated to form flow path such that floor outlet is virtually on the upstream side of the panel outlet.

Vehicle HVAC temperature control system

A vehicle HVAC system comprises an evaporator, a heater core, an air mixing door between the evaporator and the heater core, the air mixing door being configured to direct a portion of an airflow to either bypass or pass over the heater, and a baffle. The baffle is configured to gradually change the area available to a portion of the airflow as the air mixing door is moved.
