IMMERSION COOLING SYSTEM INCLUDING METAL-ENCASED, POUCH-TYPE BATTERY CELLS FOR HOT GAS FLOW SEPARATION IN BATTERY SYSTEMS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES

An immersion cooling system for a battery system includes a battery enclosure and C metal-encased, pouch-type battery cells including C metal cases, C pouch-type battery cells arranged in the C metal cases, respectively, where C is an integer greater than one, and C vents on the C metal cases, respectively. A vent gas manifold is in fluid communication with the C vents of the C metal cases and is configured to remove vent gas passing through the C vents of the C metal cases from the battery enclosure.
