  • Patent number: 12231022
    Abstract: A rotor assembly including a body member, a first shaft member and a second shaft member. The body member includes an inner wall defining a cavity inside the body member. The first shaft member is inserted into the body member and extends at least partially in the cavity of the body member. The second shaft member is inserted into the body member and extends from a first end portion of the body member to a second end portion of the body member. The second shaft member is at least partially surrounded by the first shaft member. The first shaft member is configured to provide a medium along the inner wall of the body member, and the second shaft member is configured to provide the medium at each of the first end portion and the second end portion of the body member.

  • Patent number: 11837943
    Abstract: A rotor air cooling system including an outer housing and an inner housing configured to be inserted into the outer housing, the inner housing including an open backend. The system further includes a stator attached to an interior side of the inner housing, a main rotor body included in the inner housing, the main rotor body being arranged around a rotor shaft arranged to extend through the inner housing and the outer housing, wherein cooling air axially enters the main rotor body in an inlet end, passes through cavities of the main rotor body, and exits the main rotor body in an outlet end, and a water jacket arranged between the inner housing and the outer housing. Moreover, the system includes a heat exchanger for dissipating heat from the cooling air exiting the main rotor body.
