1. A fluid management module for cooling an electric energy store by immersion cooling, comprising:
a fluid path that can be flowed through by a cooling medium, the fluid path comprises an inlet connection and an outlet connection for fluidically connecting the fluid path with the energy store to be cooled,
a heat exchanger arranged in the fluid path for discharging heat from the cooling medium and a filter device arranged in the fluid path for cleaning the cooling medium,
a valve device arranged in the fluid path between the inlet connection and the outlet connection, the valve device structured and arranged to permit the cooling medium to flow through the fluid path along a first flow direction from the inlet connection to the outlet connection and prevent the cooling medium from flowing along a second flow direction from the outlet connection to the inlet connection,
a service inlet connection communicating with the fluid path between the valve device and the outlet connection and a service outlet connection communicating with the fluid path between the inlet connection and the heat exchanger for fluidically connecting the fluid path with a service unit comprising a cooling medium reservoir for the cooling medium.
