E-motor design faces a critical challenge: escalating power densities. As electric vehicles demand more compact and potent motors, traditional water-cooling methods fall short. Enter the innovative solution: oil-cooled e-motors.
E-motor cooling presents several challenges. Managing end-winding operating temperatures is crucial to prevent overheating and ensure longevity: temperature hotspots identification is key to prevent e-drive failure (i.e. due to magnet demagnetization). Other challenges are non-uniform cooling or airgap contamination disrupting the magnetic field and increasing e-motor losses.
Particleworks creates digital prototypes of e-motors and e-drives to investigate:
