  • High torque density electric machine with directly cooled end windings
    Patent number: 12273016
    Abstract: An electric machine includes a stator having a plurality of stator teeth. Each stator tooth of the plurality of stator teeth includes a winding disposed there around. Each stator tooth of the plurality of stator teeth is shaped to receive a plurality of microchannels. The microchannels contain a circulating heat-transfer fluid; Each stator tooth of the plurality of stator teeth is thermally exposed to the heat-transfer fluid via the plurality of microchannels so as to effectuate heat removal from each stator tooth of the plurality of stator teeth.
