Abstract

This paper presents the optimisation of a cooling system for a permanent magnet synchronous machine with a high current density in the stator windings. Cooling is provided through forced air ventilation flowing axially down the slots, passing between the stator coils. Several parameters, including the area and shape of the air channels and the turbulence intensity of air flow have been studied to improve the cooling performance of the stator. Finite element analysis and CFD simulation are used to calculate the stator losses and the temperature rise in the winding. The results of the study are able to recommend the best compromises in order to optimise the thermal performance of the motor.
