Abstract:
A housing of a drive device includes a refrigerant flow path through which a refrigerant flows. The refrigerant flow path includes a first flow path, a second flow path, a third flow path, and a fourth flow path. The refrigerant to be sent from a pump flows through the first flow path. The refrigerant to be supplied to the motor portion flows in the second flow path. The third flow path supplies a part of the refrigerant flowing through the second flow path to the outer surface of a stator. The fourth flow path supplies the other part of the refrigerant flowing through the second flow path to a hollow portion of a shaft. A minimum flow-path cross-sectional area in the fourth flow path is smaller than a minimum flow-path cross-sectional area in the third flow path.
