Abstract
The invention relates to method for the manufacture of a cooling module in the form of a body having an inner space for the reception of battery cells, wherein the body has one or more cooling passages extending in parallel to one another between an inlet region and an outlet region and is formed at least partly from a length or from a plurality of lengths of a hollow section.

33. A method for the manufacture of a cooling module (10) in the form of a body having an inner space (24) for the reception of battery cells (22), wherein the body has one or more cooling passages (20) extending in parallel to one another between an inlet region and an outlet region, wherein the body of the cooling module (10) is formed approximately in the shape of a parallelepiped having at least first and second oppositely disposed sides and a third side, the cooling module having a liquid cooling at at least said first, second and third sides, which are consecutive sides, the body being formed at least partly from at least one length of a hollow section (30) by one of the following steps:
-
bending the at least one length of the hollow section (30) at at least two positions (42); and connecting consecutive lengths of the hollow section (30) to one another in a fluid conducting manner; to form at least two typically at least substantially rectangular corners, wherein the cooling module (10) is subsequently provided with sheet metal connection plates (26) which are attached at at least the first and the second oppositely disposed sides in a heat conducting manner and which form compartments (24) which are dimensioned for the reception of the battery cells (22), wherein the sheet metal connection plates (26) lie in parallel planes. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A cooling module (10) in the form of a body having an inner space (24) for the reception of battery cells (22), wherein the body has one or more cooling passages (20) extending in parallel to one another between an inlet region and an outlet region, wherein the body of the cooling module (10) is approximately of the shape of a parallelepiped having at least first and second oppositely disposed sides and a third side and the body having a liquid cooling at at least said first, second and third sides, which are consecutive sides, the body having been formed at least partly from at least one length of a hollow section (30) by one of the following steps:
-
bending the at least one length of the hollow section (30) at at least two positions (42); and connecting consecutive lengths of the hollow section (30) to one another at abutting ends in a fluid conducting manner; thereby forming at least two typically at least substantially rectangular corners, the cooling module (10) further having sheet metal connection plates (26) which are attached at at least said first and second oppositely disposed sides in a heat conducting manner and forming compartments (24) which compartments are dimensioned for the reception of battery cells (22), wherein the sheet metal connection plates (26) lie in parallel planes. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)
