Methods and devices for providing an even distribution of waste heat in a vehicular battery pack, including a battery pack, a cold plate, a coolant reservoir, a support structure between the battery pack and the coolant reservoir, and a conformable thermal interface material for filling the space between cells of the battery pack and the coolant reservoir so as to provide thermal contact between the cells and the coolant reservoir for distributing the waste heat. In addition, methods and devices for providing an even distribution of waste heat and structural support in any heat source to heat sink for applications such as small devices such as computer motors. |
