ELECTRIC MACHINE HAVING A COOLING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COOLING AN ELECTRIC MACHINE

摘要

An electric machine including a housing having a body including an inner surface that defines an interior, a first end defining an opening exposing the interior, and a second end. A stator is fixedly mounted to the inner surface of the housing. A rotor is supported within the interior. The rotor defines an axis of rotation. An end cover extends across the opening adjacent one of the first end and the second end of the stator. A cooling system is carried by the end cover. The cooling system includes a body having a cooling fluid plenum, a plurality of stator nozzles and a plurality of rotor nozzles. The stator nozzles are configured and disposed to direct multiple jets of a coolant toward the stator and the plurality of rotor nozzles are configured and disposed to guide multiple jets of the coolant toward the rotor.
