Abstract
A method of cooling an electrodynamic machine having an inner-cooled stator winding consisting of a stator coil surrounding a cooling tube, including the steps of locating a hot-spot along a length of the stator coil through which the cooling tube runs, deforming the cooling tube at a tube location generally adjacent the hot-spot so as to increase the flow resistance of the cooling tube, and flowing a cooling medium through the cooling tube during operation of the electrodynamic machine to effect a heat transfer between the stator coil and the cooling medium.
