MOTOR CASE COOLING UTILIZING PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL

摘要

A motor includes a rotor 12 positioned adjacent to a stator case 14. A cooling system in the motor includes a plurality of fins 26, at least one coolant reservoir 18, and condenser coils 20. The plurality of fins 26 is disposed along an external surface of the stator case 14. The at least one coolant reservoir 18 is attached to the stator case. The at least one coolant reservoir 18 covers and is in fluid communication with at least a portion of the plurality of pin fins 26. The condenser coils 20 are attached to the at least one coolant reservoir 18.
