Abstract:
A vehicle includes an electric machine and a coolant tube. The electric machine is configured to propel the vehicle. The electric machine has a stator that includes an array of windings that are arranged in a radial configuration. The coolant tube forms a loop that is routed along an axial end of the stator and adjacent to the array. The tube defines an inlet orifice configured to receive coolant and a plurality of outlet orifices configured to direct the coolant onto the windings.
