Abstract
An electric motor disclosed herein may include a stator, a supply hole, a first flow passage, and second flow passages. The first flow passage and the second flow passages may be provided in the stator. The first flow passage may extend along a circumferential direction of the stator. The second flow passages may extend along an axis of the stator and cross the first flow passage. A plurality of guides may be provided in the first flow passage to disturb a flow of refrigerant. The refrigerant is supplied from the supply hole to the first flow passage and disturbed by the guides. A part of the refrigerant of which flow is disturbed flows into the second flow passages. The refrigerant is distributed, thus, the refrigerant flows evenly into the second flow passages. The entire stator is thus effectively cooled.
