Abstract
A belt driven vehicle alternator is enclosed by front and rear brackets/casing members 26, 30 which, in combination with an aluminum housing 24 surrounding the rotor and stator cores/coils, define flow passages for a liquid coolant branched off from the engine cooling system. The coolant inlet and outlet ports 28, 29 are both provided in the rear casing member 30 and are circumferentially proximate each other to minimize the space occupied by the alternator cooling system and tubes in the crowded engine compartment.
