Abstract

An energy storage system includes a housing in which a plurality of storage cells are arranged. The storage cells are thermally insulated from each other via a device arranged between the storage cells. The device is designed in such a way that the storage cells are spaced apart from each other. The device is made from temperature-resistant material. The device has projections and depressions. The device contains a material which is configured to be subjected to an endothermic chemical conversion when a temperature of 200° C. is exceeded.

Claims (17)

1. An energy storage system, comprising:

a housing in which a plurality of storage cells are arranged,

wherein the storage cells are thermally insulated from each other via a device arranged between the storage cells, the device comprising a planar base,

wherein the device is designed in such a way that the storage cells are spaced apart from each other,

wherein the device is made from temperature-resistant material, wherein the device has projections and depressions,

wherein the device contains a material which is configured to be subjected to an endothermic chemical conversion when a temperature of 200° C. is exceeded,

wherein the projections comprise protruding webs, each of which is offset, relative to the planar base, from an adjacent protruding web on an opposite side of the planar base, and

wherein the device is made from elastomeric material comprising silicone rubber or fluorosilicone rubber, at least in sections.

2. The energy storage system according to claim 1 , wherein the device is three-dimensionally structured.

3. The energy storage system according to claim 1 , wherein the device is structured as waffle-shaped.

4. The energy storage system according to claim 1 , wherein the device has knob-shaped projections.

5. The energy storage system according to claim 2 , wherein the structuring is designed in such a way that, between the section of the device assigned to the edge of the storage cells, a greater contact pressure of the device against the storage cell results than at the remaining sections.

6. The energy storage system according to claim 1 , wherein the device extends at least in sections up to an end face of the storage cell.

7. The energy storage system according to claim 6 , wherein the storage cell has an emergency opening which is arranged on the end face,

wherein the device surrounds the emergency opening.

8. The energy storage system according to claim 1 , wherein the device contains a phase change material.

9. The energy storage system according to claim 1 , wherein a cooling device is assigned to the device.
