Abstract
A liquid-cooled rotary electric machine including jacket defining a heat transfer surface in conductive thermal communication with a stator and having an axial end portion partially enclosing an interior volume. A heat source is in conductive thermal communication with a wall of the jacket axial end portion. A fluid channel traverses the heat transfer surface between opposite axial ends of the jacket, and a fluid passage in fluid communication with the fluid channel is defined by jacket axial end portion walls. A flow path of liquid coolant through the machine is defined by the fluid channel and the fluid passage between a machine coolant inlet and outlet, whereby at least a portion of heat transferable between the heat source and the fluid passage is convectively transferable between the jacket axial end portion walls and liquid coolant along the flow path. Also a method for liquid-cooling a rotary electric machine.
