DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The apparatus (1) comprises storage cell modules (10), which include electrochemical storage cells and/or double-layer condensers that are arranged next to each other and/or arranged over each other, and a self-supporting cooling block (20), which include a reception (21) for the storage cell module and a structure for heat dissipation of the heat delivered by or from the storage cell modules, where the structure is provided for heat dissipation at a side of the reception. The cooling block comprises a clamping device that is designed to generate a predetermined force, by which the structure is pressable on a respective storage cell module for heat dissipation. The clamping device includes a number of connection units designed to transfer the predetermined force directly or indirectly to the structure for heat dissipation. The structure comprises a cooling plate (24) with cooling channels for a coolant or a freezing agent for heat dissipation at opposite side of the reception. The cooling channels are connected to a front side of the reception over flexible cooling channels in a flow-technical manner. Clamping plates are provided at the sides of the structure turned away from the storage cell modules, where the number of connection units positively or materially connects the clamping plates with one another. The clamping plates are formed from metal or plastic, and are formed from thermally insulating material or comprise thermally insulating material. The clamping plate has a cove formed opposite to the force direction by the connecting units before the impact of the force. The number of connection units is positively or materially connected together with the cooling plates arranged to the opposing sides of the reception, and is connected with the cooling plates or the clamping plates directly or indirectly over the holding rails, which are formed from a stiffened material. The connection unit comprises a screw, which engages into a cylindrical nut with internal thread, where the nut actively connects with the structure for heat dissipation on one side of the reception and the screw actively connects with the structure for heat dissipation on opposite side of the reception. The cylindrical section of the nut has a front end and a rear end, so that the screw does not project over the rear end with the predetermined force of the clamping device generated by it. The number of the connection units is passed through the reception. The connection unit is laterally guided to the storage cell module or between two storage cell modules. A respective crash plate is provided laterally to the storage cell module beyond and/or between two storage cell modules. The crash plate projects over the clamping device in a section-wise manner. In the event of a crash, the force acting on the apparatus is received by the crash plate or crash plates and is derived around the storage cell modules. The crash plate has pins, which are guided through the structure for heat dissipation and the clamping device and project over the clamping device. The crash plates extend themselves and the pins extend the crash plates in the direction of the number of the connection units. The clamping plates have a reception and/or a fastener for an electronic component such as control for the apparatus. The storage cells and/or double-layer condensers in the storage cell modules are connected over the thermally conducting and mechanically rigid profiles, where the clamping device pushes the structure to the profile. The clamping device has an elasticity to compensate thermally induced change of length of the storage cell modules and/or the structure. The elasticity of the clamping device is already set by the material properties of the clamping device and/or by the number of connection elements. The clamping device has a fixed bearing on one side of the reception for fixing the apparatus to the vehicle and a detachable bearing on the other side of the reception. A corrosion-resistant layer is provided between the clamping device and the structure. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a cooling block for an apparatus for supplying power to a vehicle.
