Abstract
An electric motor disclosed herein may comprise a rotor core fixed to a shaft, a stator, and first and second refrigerant passages. The stator may include coil ends at both ends. The first refrigerant passage may be provided in the shaft and arranged outside the rotor core in an axial direction of the shaft. The second refrigerant passage may extend inside the rotor core. A first outlet of the first refrigerant passage may be provided on the shaft, and an ejecting direction of refrigerant at the first outlet may be directed towards one of the coil ends. The rotor core is cooled by the refrigerant flowing in the second refrigerant passage. The coil ends are cooled by the refrigerant flowing in the first refrigerant passage, that is, the refrigerant that has not cooled the rotor.
