    Abstract: An electric machine assembly includes a stator. The stator includes a core defining a rotational axis, windings assembled into the core, and a back iron heat exchanger mounted to the core, extending around the rotational axis. A plurality of coolant circuits pass from one or more coolant inlets in the back iron heat exchanger through the back iron heat exchanger, to one or more coolant outlets in the back iron heat exchanger. Between the one or more coolant inlets and the one or more coolant outlets, the plurality of cooling circuits are in fluid isolation from one another and from radially inner and outer surfaces of the back iron heat exchanger.

    Abstract: A system for cooling a cabin air compressor (CAC) motor includes a water separator which extracts water from airflow through a turbine and/or a fuel cell, and a CAC motor including cooling channels connected to an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the CAC motor receives water from the water separator. The steam at the outlet of the CAC motor can be repurposed for warming utilities in an aircraft cabin, or for de-icing or increasing enthalpy of the turbine. The cooling water flow can be directed to the CAC motor in response to a predicted temperature of the CAC motor exceeding a threshold. The predicted temperature can be generated by feeding inputs including CAC motor input power measured by a power sensor, differential pressure measured by a pressure sensor, and a temperature at an air cooling inlet measured by a temperature sensor to a processor which generates a map model.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides air cooling systems and methods for propulsion systems (e.g., aviation or aerospace propulsion systems). More particularly, the present disclosure provides integrated air cooling systems and methods utilizing air cycle machine cooling for hybrid-electric aircraft or aerospace propulsion systems or the like. The present disclosure provides integrated air cycle machine cooling into the hybrid propulsion system (e.g., into the wing-mounted hybrid propulsion system). As such, the air cooling systems and methods of the present disclosure can minimize weight while improving electric motor/generator cooling.

    Abstract: Provided are embodiments for a feeder cooling tube, a system and method for performing thermal management. Embodiments include a feeder cooling tube having an inner tube arranged to define a path to flow a fluid through a length of the inner tube, wherein the fluid is provided to remove heat, and an outer tube arranged to enclose the inner tube which defines an area. Embodiments also include one or more feeder cables arranged between the inner tube and the outer tube, and a plurality of cooling struts, wherein each cooling strut of the plurality of cooling struts extends from a surface of the inner tube to a surface of the outer tube.
