  • COMBINED OIL COOLING CONCEPT FOR AN ELECTRIC MACHINE WITH A ROTOR-INTEGRATED CLUTCH, ELECTRIC MACHINE, DRIVE TRAIN AND METHOD FOR COOLING AN ELECTRIC MACHINE
    Publication number: 20230092153
    Abstract: An electric machine includes a rotor-integrated clutch for a drive train of a motor vehicle, and has a stator and a rotor. The rotor has a carrier, on which a first part of a friction clutch configured for a force-locking connection with a second part is attached, wherein a coolant fluid line is provided in order to supply the stator or the rotor with coolant fluid to bring about heat dissipation. The coolant fluid line is arranged and perforated such that the coolant fluid both drips under gravity onto a section of the rotor in order to generate a spray mist, and flows over the outer surface of the stator.
