STATOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

An electric machine, such as a generator, providing for the generation of electricity and includes a rotor generating a magnetic field and a stator having stator windings. The interaction of the magnetic field with the stator windings generates current in the windings. The generator may provide the generated current to a power output of the generator, where it may be further transmitted to an electrical load to power the load.

1. A stator assembly for an electric machine comprising:
a stator core having multiple posts; multiple windings, with a winding provided on each of the posts; and a stator sleeve located about the stator core and an inner surface confronting the windings and comprising:
a convection reservoir extending along and in a thermally conductive confronting relationship with at least a portion of the windings;a delivery reservoir extending along at least a portion of the length of the convection reservoir; anda plurality of transfer ports fluidly coupling the convection reservoir with the delivery reservoir; wherein the convection reservoir is located between the delivery reservoir and the inner surface, and the delivery reservoir has an inlet and the convection reservoir has an outlet to define a coolant flow path, whereby coolant can be provided to the inlet where it flows through the delivery reservoir, through the plurality of transfer ports to the convection reservoir, and out the outlet.
