THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE, FIBRE-REINFORCED PLASTIC FOR ELECTRIC MOTOR HOUSINGS, AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a thermally conductive, fibre-reinforced plastic for electric motor housings, in particular a low-weight housing, of light-weight construction. According to the invention, a new housing structure for electric motors is provided, said housing structure having material modifications by fibre-reinforced plastic such as carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic for increasing the thermal conductivity in the thickness direction by introducing materials of higher thermal conductivity, such as metal pins, in combination with the housing cooling via a cooling jacket through which fluid flows. This represents novel technology for producing a heat-dissipating housing using fibre composite technology.
