Abstract
The device is used to cool a vehicle appliance, in particular a battery or a fuel cell, by means of a coolant. It has a plurality of identically designed cooling elements, through which coolant can flow, which can be brought into bearing contact to cool at least one component of the vehicle appliance. It includes a first cooling-element side and a second cooling-element side which is on the opposite side from the first cooling-element side. The cooling-element sides have connection openings, which form inlet and outlet openings for the coolant and are in communication with the interior space of the cooling element. In this arrangement, it is provided for the first and second cooling-element sides each to have at least two connection openings.
