  • Patent number: 5833022
    Abstract: A hybrid drive with an internal combustion engine and an electrical machine which has a rotor and a stator in a housing connected to the internal combustion engine. The engine and electrical machine are adaptively connected to one other by a clutch, preferably a friction clutch. The housing (21) includes a housing part (23) which supports the friction clutch (7) and the electrical machine (11), and includes a partition wall (29) which separates the electrical machine (11) from heat producers (31) such as the internal combustion engine (1) and the friction clutch (7). The insulating effect of the partition wall can be increased by the use of insulation (27) between the heat producers (31) and the electrical machine (11).
