Hi,
I'm looking to package ID3 modules for use in two different conversion projects:
1. Low voltage Hyper 9 using 2 modules in series, 3 in parallel
2. Tesla model 3 motor using 8 modules in series, 1 or 2 in parallel
Has anyone been looking at cooling plates for the ID3 modules, either homemade or off-the-shelve purchase of plates?
Thanks!

The ID.3 (and ID.4 and ID.5) modules appear to be 590 mm long, which means that they might follow the VDA 590 module size standard. That has not used in many cars before these MEB-platform VWs, but is available from battery module manufacturers in China (apparently used in buses), so perhaps someone has cooling plates for them. I might try searching using the "VDA 590" description, although I haven't found any cooling plates yet that way.

Can cooling components be salvaged from VW packs?

I agree with Brian -- try to reuse whatever cooling components are in the OEM packs. Cheaper and will work great.

From what I can tell, the ID3 already uses liquid cooling for the pack.

The VW packs dont have cooling plates, the modules are bolted to the floor of the pack which is then cooled in its entirety.

Thanks all, really helpful... I think I need to get my hands on a sample pack and do some testing. Cheers!

So what you're saying is the floor of the pack is the cooling plate...

yes, one big cooling plate, not unique to VW cars, many other ev’s are like this, pretty sure the MG EV’s are as an example

There is no separate part number for VAG MEB cooling plates.
The whole tray (middle section) is the cooling plate.
20 & 19 are feed & return coolant connection ports.

Hopefully someone will put a sawzall to one so we can see the channel routing and how it was put together...

Hi EVsilver, i am doing a conversion with a Hyper9 and am about to buy an id3 battery to take apart and use, how did it work out for you, any hints? Thanks! Ben

I sell these MEB battery module cooling plate - EVcreate
At the moment only one in stock buy can be backordered and will / can have more soon.
