COOLING OF AXIAL FLUX MOTOR WITH STATOR COOLANT CHANNEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17847705 titled 'COOLING OF AXIAL FLUX MOTOR WITH STATOR COOLANT CHANNEL
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a stator for an electric machine that includes a stator core and electrically conductive windings. - The windings are supported by a volume of potting material, which also defines one or more stator coolant channels. - These coolant channels are designed to allow a flow of stator coolant to pass through and remove heat from the windings. - The method of forming the stator involves arranging the windings on the stator core, applying the potting material, and creating the coolant channels. - The innovation allows for efficient cooling of the electric machine, which can help prevent overheating and improve its performance and longevity.
Original Abstract Submitted
A stator of an electric machine includes a stator core and a plurality of electrically conductive windings secured to the stator core. A volume of potting material supports the plurality of electrically conductive windings at the stator core. One or more stator coolant channels are defined in the volume of potting material configured to convey a flow of stator coolant therethrough to remove heat from the plurality of electrically conductive windings. A method of forming a stator of an electric machine includes arranging a plurality of electrically conductive windings on a stator core, applying a volume of potting material to the plurality of electrically conductive windings, and defining one or more stator coolant channels in the volume of potting material. The one or more stator coolant channels are configured to convey a flow of stator coolant therethrough to remove heat from the plurality of electrically conductive windings.
