SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FLUID DISTRIBUTION FOR COOLING AND LUBRICATION OF ELECTRIC MACHINES

摘要

The invention provides systems and methods for cooling and lubrication of high power density electric machines with an enhanced fluid injection system. A plurality of fluid flow passages may be provided within the electric machine. A method for fluid distribution for cooling and lubrication of the electric machine may comprise providing a fluid distribution manifold with at least one inlet and a plurality of distribution openings leading to a plurality of fluid flow passages within the machine. The fluid within the electric machine may be used to cool and/or lubricate internal components of the electric machine.
