Abstract: An electric machine includes a housing having an inner surface, an upper portion, and a bottom portion. The bottom portion supports a coolant inlet, and a coolant outlet. A stator is mounted in the housing. The stator includes a plurality of stator laminations having a first end turn and a second end turn. The plurality of stator laminations includes a coolant flow path having a plurality of coolant channels that extend circumferentially about the stator. A first portion of the plurality of coolant channels direct a coolant circumferentially about the stator in a clockwise direction and a second portion of the plurality of coolant channels direct the coolant circumferentially about the stator in a counter-clockwise direction. The coolant flow path includes a first outlet and a second outlet. The first outlet directs onto the first end turn, and the second outlet directs coolant onto the second end turn.

Abstract: An electric machine includes a stator formed from a plurality of stator laminations arranged in a first lamination group and a second lamination group. The first lamination group and the second lamination group form a tortuous flow path that extends across the stator. The first lamination group includes at least two of the plurality of stator laminations joined together. The at least two of the plurality of stator laminations include a first plurality of cooling channel defining members. The second lamination group includes a second plurality of stator teeth and a second plurality of cooling channel defining members. The second plurality of cooling channel defining members of the second lamination group are circumferentially offset from corresponding ones of the first plurality of cooling channel defining members of the first lamination group.

Abstract: A wound field rotor includes a shaft having an outer surface, an inner surface defining a flow path, and an opening defining a passage extending from the flow path through the outer surface. A plurality of laminations is mounted to the outer surface. The plurality of laminations includes an inner annular surface disposed on the shaft and an outer annular surface defining a plurality of rotor teeth. A plurality of field windings is disposed about corresponding ones of the plurality of rotor teeth. A first portion of the plurality of rotor laminations includes a first passage portion that extends from the inner annular surface radially outwardly and is fluidically connected to the passage, and a second portion of the plurality or rotor laminations adjacent the first portion includes a second passage portion that includes a first end that registers with the first passage portion and a second end.
