USE OF AN ABSORBER MATERIAL FOR ABSORBING AND / OR DISTRIBUTING LIQUIDS IN AN ACTIVELY AND / OR PASSIVELY COOLED CURRENT-CARRYING SYSTEM

A method includes: providing an absorber material including: a casing; and superabsorbent particles arranged therein, and using the absorber material to absorb and/or distribute liquids in an actively and/or passively cooled current-carrying system including an actively and/or passively cooled power storage system. The casing has at least two plies arranged in a planar fashion on one another. Regions of the at least two plies are connected to one another by at least one seam such that the casing is segmented in a form of pockets separated from one another. At least some of the pockets have the superabsorbent particles.
