Cooling arrangement for an electric machine

摘要

The invention relates to a cooling arrangement for an electric machine. According to the invention the electric machine comprises a stator. The stator comprises stacked lamination plates. The lamination plates form at least two lamination packages. The electric machine comprises a first cooling circulation with a first cooling fluid. The stator of the electric machine comprises a second cooling circulation with a second cooling fluid. A heat exchanger is part of the second cooling circulation and is arranged to connect the first cooling circulation and the second cooling circulation. Thus heat is transferred from the first cooling fluid to the second cooling fluid. A spacer element is arranged between the two lamination packages. The spacer element is prepared to set a predetermined distance between the lamination packages, thus the first cooling fluid is allowed to flow between the lamination packages. The heat exchanger arrangement is an integral or at least partly integrated part of the spacer elements.
