This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18177236 titled 'ELECTRIC DRIVE UNIT HAVING A HEAT EXCHANGER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electric drive unit that consists of an electric motor and a housing. The housing has a heat exchanging wall portion with an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface forms a fluid jacket cavity for carrying a first fluid, while the outer surface forms a fluid chamber for carrying a second fluid. Heat is transferred between the first and second fluids through the heat exchanging wall portion.

  • Electric drive unit with an electric motor and housing
  • Housing has a heat exchanging wall portion
  • Inner surface of the wall forms a fluid jacket cavity for first fluid
  • Outer surface of the wall forms a fluid chamber for second fluid
  • Heat is transferred between the fluids through the wall


Original Abstract Submitted

An electric drive unit includes an electric motor and a housing that houses the electric motor. The housing includes a heat exchanging wall portion that includes an inner surface that defines a fluid jacket cavity for conveying a first fluid and an outer surface that is opposite the inner surface and that defines a fluid chamber for conveying a second fluid. The heat is transferred between the first and second fluids through the heat exchanging wall portion.
