AB CHILLCORE POUCH COOLER (TOP / BOTTOM)

The AB Chillcore™ pouch cooler for top and bottom cooling is designed for direct contact with battery cells, ensuring efficient heat transfer across the full cell surface. Its flexible structure adapts to dimensional variations and compensates for cell tolerances, maintaining consistent thermal performance. By optimizing surface contact and eliminating the need for gap fillers, the solution supports simplified system design and improved thermal efficiency.

AB CHILLCORE POUCH COOLER (SIDE COOLER)

The AB Chillcore™ side cooler enables reliable thermal management under dynamic operating conditions by applying controlled compression during cell expansion and contraction. It maintains a high coolant flow rate even under compression, ensuring consistent cooling performance. Its compact design supports high energy density battery packs while replacing conventional gap fillers and enabling more efficient use of available space.
