    Abstract: A coreless rotating electrical machine for being operated continuously comprises a stator including an energizable coreless cylindrical coil and a lid-type mount; and a rotor including a cup-type mount. The lid-type mount is equipped with a channel for supplying a refrigerant liquid to the air gap. The coreless rotating electrical machine is operated continuously by supplying the refrigerant liquid into the air gap, allowing the cylindrical coil, which generates heat, to vaporize the refrigerant liquid, cooling the cylindrical coil by latent heat of vaporization, and repeating an operation of supplying the refrigerant liquid to prevent a temperature of the cylindrical coil exceeding an allowable maximum temperature, and an operation of adjusting the supply of the refrigerant liquid to prevent the temperature of the cylindrical coil falling below a minimum temperature, so as to maintain the temperature in a range between the allowable maximum and minimum temperatures.

    Abstract: The disclosed apparatus, system, and techniques described herein allow pole retention hardware of the electric motor to also function as a cooling manifold for removing heat generated by the electrical coils. A pole retainer apparatus can include a pole retainer for retaining a pole to a hub. The pole retainer can include a proximal end mounted on the hub and a distal end. The pole retainer can include a channel extending through the pole retainer from the proximal end of the pole retainer mounted on the hub to the distal end of the pole retainer. The apparatus can include a mount located at the distal end of the pole retainer and configured to retain the pole on the hub. The apparatus can include a fluid transfer duct connected to the mount. The cooling system can be employed on TORUS Axial Flux Permanent Magnet motors, and various other motor designs.
