Claim 14:
15. A method for manufacturing a battery module housing system, the method comprising:
forming a lower part as a unitary component, the lower part having a plate shape, an upper side, and a lower side opposite to the upper side of the lower part, the lower part comprising at least one coolant inlet and at least one coolant outlet; and
forming an upper part as a unitary component, the upper part having a tub shape and configured to receive a battery module of the battery module housing system, and comprising a bottom tile having an upper side and a lower side opposite to the upper side of the bottom tile,
wherein the lower side of the bottom tile is configured to be connected to the upper side of the lower part to define a cavity between the upper side of the lower part and the lower side of the bottom tile, the cavity defining a liquid-tight hollow interior that is accessible via the at least one coolant inlet and the at least one coolant outlet, and
wherein the at least one coolant inlet has an inlet through-hole penetrating through at least a surface of the upper side of the lower part,
wherein: each coolant inlet comprises an inlet connector at the lower side of the lower part, the inlet connector being configured to be connected to a delivery ductwork to receive coolant from the delivery ductwork through the inlet through-hole and to provide the coolant to the upper side of the lower part;
each coolant outlet has an outlet through-hole that extends through the lower part and comprises an outlet connector at the lower side of the lower part, the outlet connector being configured to be connected to a discharge ductwork to discharge coolant from the upper side of the lower part through the outlet through-hole to the discharge ductwork; and
each of the inlet connector and the outlet connector has a pin shape at the lower side of the lower part corresponding to the inlet through-hole and the outlet through-hole, such that the inlet through-hole and the outlet through-hole further extend through the pin shape of the inlet connector and the outlet connector, respectively.
