Abstract: An electric motor system includes a motor housing and a stator core disposed within the motor housing. The stator core includes a back iron heat exchanger for passing fluid therethrough. A fluid inlet is disposed at a first portion of the back iron heat exchanger that is at least partially in fluid communication with a liquid coolant source and is configured to accept a cooling mixture. A fluid outlet is disposed at a second portion of the back iron heat exchanger for outletting a gas coolant from the back iron heat exchanger such that liquid coolant is convertible to the gas coolant in the back iron heat exchanger by receiving energy from the stator core allowing the gas coolant exit through the outlet and thereby removing heat from the stator core.

Abstract: An electric power generation system (EPGS) employs both a wild-source generator and a variable and/or constant frequency generator. The wild-source generator is coupled to receive mechanical power from a low-pressure spool on an aircraft engine and to generate in response a wild-source output for consumption by voltage and frequency-tolerant loads. The variable and/or constant frequency generator is coupled to receive mechanical power from a high-pressure spool on the aircraft engine and to generate in response a variable and/or constant frequency output for consumption by voltage and frequency-intolerant loads.

Abstract: A turbomachine includes a motor including a rotor assembly and a stator assembly. A sleeve fluidly separates the rotor assembly from the stator assembly. The sleeve has first and second ends axially spaced from one another. In one example, first and second seals are arranged at the first end and fluidly separate the rotor assembly from the stator assembly. The second seal is arranged downstream from the first seal relative to the rotor assembly. In another example, the sleeve includes wet and dry sides. A first seal is arranged at the first end on the wet side. A drain is provided in the housing and arranged in a region downstream from the first seal. The drain fluidly connects the region to an exterior of the housing.
