Design and Application of the New Combined Cooling Scheme for Vehicle Drive Motors
In order to meet the high power density requirements to the drive motors being required for automo-tive electrification,a new type of cooling scheme combining the casing water cooling with internal circulation oil cool-ing is designed.The key components of the motor using this cooling scheme are structurally designed and a prototype is manufactured.Through temperature rise tests,the cooling oil quantity is determined while the effectiveness of the new cooling method in the fields of improving cooling effect and increasing power density is verified.
