Efficient oil spray cooling system for EV electric motors
Description of the granted funding
With growing interest in green technologies and sustainable transport, hybrid and pure electric powertrains are attracting a lot of attention. Demand metrics such as lightweight and high-power density motors offer clear motivation to develop advanced thermal management methods and integrate them with conventional cooling approaches. The oil spray cooling method is one of the latest cooling methodologies integrated with conventional cooling approaches. Therefore, the "Efficient oil spray cooling system for EV electric motors" project provides a comprehensive study on the oil spray cooling approach for electrical motors utilized in EV traction application drives. The objective is to develop systematic analysis and design methodologies to achieve an effective thermal management system based on this technique.
