Abstract
Disclosed herein is a cooling system for cooling a battery pack mounted in a vehicle, wherein the battery pack is mounted at the inner lower end of the vehicle constructed in a corrugated structure including alternating valleys and peaks, battery modules constituting the battery pack are arranged such that unit cells constituting each battery module are mounted vertically on the corrugated lower end of the vehicle, and the cooling system comprises a coolant inlet port and a coolant outlet port formed at a lower-end member of a housing surrounding the outer surface of the battery pack in a sealed state. According to the present invention, the coolant inlet port and the coolant outlet port are formed using the structure of the vehicle. Consequently, the cooling system can be stably mounted to the vehicle, the inner space of the vehicle is efficiently utilized, and the volume of the battery system is minimized. Furthermore, the partitions are mounted in the battery pack for uniformly supplying coolant. Consequently, heat generated from the battery is effectively removed, and the temperature difference between unit cells is minimized during the cooling process.
