Abstract

A battery chiller for a vehicle includes a housing having a first inlet, a second inlet opposing the first inlet, a first outlet having a toroid structure surrounding the second inlet, and a second outlet having a toroid structure surrounding the first inlet. A lattice is disposed within the housing defining a first plurality of channels and a second plurality of channels. The lattice defines a first inlet duct in fluid communication with the first inlet and the first channels, and a second inlet duct in fluid communication with the second inlet and the second channels. A first flow path is defined from the first inlet, through the first inlet duct, through the first plurality of channels and to the first outlet, and a second flow path is defined from the second inlet, through the second inlet duct, through the second plurality of channels and to the second outlet.
