Assemblies For Cooling Electric Machines

摘要

Cooling assemblies (e.g., tubes, members (e.g., i-beams, rectangular members, and the like), stator windings, stator laminations, and/or combinations thereof), such as those configured to cool electric machines (e.g., electric motors and generators).

主权项

1. A cooling assembly for an electric machine comprising:
a stator core comprising a plurality of laminations and having:
a first end;a second end; anda bore extending from the first end to the second end and configured to accommodate at least a portion of a rotor; a plurality of members disposed between at least two adjacent laminations such that the at least two adjacent laminations form at least one channel that extends at least partially around the stator core; and at least one tube disposed in the at least one channel and configured to permit fluid to move through the at least one tube.
