IMPROVED CELL PACK THERMAL MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD

A cell pack thermal management device suitable for use with a cell pack. The device has a plurality of flexible conduits, an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold. The plurality of flexible conduits are fluidly connectable between the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold to provide a plurality of fluid paths between the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold. At least one of the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold has a manifold body, a plurality of conduit ports adapted to fluidly mate with an inlet or the outlet port of each respective flexible conduit, and a system port. The plurality of conduits ports and the system port are fluidly connected within the manifold body by a series of channels tuned for even flow distribution.
