Lithium-Ionen-Batterien zum Einsatz. Die Lithium-Ionen-Batteriezellen innerhalb solcher Batterien zeichnen sich unter anderem durch eine hohe Energiedichte sowie eine äußerst geringe Selbstentladung aus. Sie besitzen jeweils mindestens eine positive sowie eine negative Elektrode, welche Lithium-Ionen reversibel einlagern (Interkalation) oder wieder auslagern (Deinterkalation) können.

They each have at least one positive and one negative electrode, which lithium ions can reversibly store (intercalation) or re-outsource (deintercalation).
Die Batteriezellen haben einen vordefinierten Temperaturbereich, in dem sie optimal arbeiten. Um die Batteriezellen während des Betriebs in diesem The battery cells have a predefined temperature range in which they work optimally. To the battery cells during operation in this
Temperaturbereich halten zu können, sind sie an ein sogenanntes Temperature range to hold, they are at a so-called
Thermomanagementsystem angeschlossen. Dieses erwärmt die Batteriezellen, zum Beispiel nach dem Start an kalten Tagen oder kühlt die Batteriezellen, zum Beispiel während des Betriebs, je nach Bedarf. Derzeit werden die einzelnen Batteriezellen in Batteriemodulen gebündelt beziehungsweise elektrisch verschaltet und als solche mit dem Thermomanagementsystem kombiniert. Zum Beispiel sechs Batteriezellen werden miteinander elektrisch verbunden und dann mit ihrer Unterseite fest auf eine Kühlplatte oder eine Heizplatte gespannt. Dieser
Aufbau ermöglicht es, die Batteriezellen zu temperieren und somit eine optimale Arbeitsumgebung für selbige zu erzeugen. Die verwandten Kühl- oder Thermal management system connected. This heats the battery cells, for example, after starting on cold days or cools the battery cells, for example, during operation, as needed. Currently, the individual battery cells are bundled in battery modules or electrically interconnected and combined as such with the thermal management system. For example, six battery cells are electrically connected to each other and then clamped with their underside firmly on a cooling plate or a hot plate. This Construction makes it possible to temper the battery cells and thus to create an optimal working environment for selbige. The related cooling or
Heizplatten werden dabei üblicherweise von einem Fluid, beispielsweise von einem Gemisch aus Wasser und Glykol durchströmt. Heating plates are usually flowed through by a fluid, for example by a mixture of water and glycol.

Eines der Risiken bei einem Unfall eines Fahrzeugs mit derartigen Thermomanagementsystemen ist eine resultierende Undichtigkeit desselben. In vielen Thermomanagementsystemen des Standes der Technik ist das in diesen enthaltende Fluid elektrisch leitend. Kommt das Fluid mit den Batteriezellen des Batteriemoduls zum Beispiel infolge eines Unfalls in Kontakt, kann es daher zu Kurzschlüssen oder zur Bildung von Wasserstoffgas kommen. Besonders bei Batteriepacks, in welchen mehrere Batteriemodule übereinandergestapelt werden, ist es konstruktiv schwierig sicherzustellen, dass bei einem Unfall kein Fluid, zum Beispiel Kühlmittel, auf die unteren Batteriemodule läuft. Thermal management system cooled or heated. These include, for example, the power electronics, voltage converters, air conditioning compressors or the electric motor. One of the risks in an accident of a vehicle with such thermal management systems is a resulting leakage thereof. In many prior art thermal management systems, the fluid contained therein is electrically conductive. If the fluid comes into contact with the battery cells of the battery module, for example as a result of an accident, it can therefore lead to short circuits or the formation of hydrogen gas. Especially with battery packs in which several battery modules are stacked, it is structurally difficult to ensure that in an accident no fluid, for example coolant, runs on the lower battery modules.
