Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A motor cooling system is provided comprising an electric motor including a rotor having first and second axial ends, and a stator having first and second axial ends, a motor housing surrounding the motor including an air chamber extending around the motor and axially along the motor length, a motor enclosure enveloping the motor housing, and a cooling fan radially mounted to the motor enclosure and adapted to operatively cool said electric motor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A motor cooling system, comprising: an electric motor; including a rotor and a stator; a motor enclosure enveloping a portion of the motor a ventilation pattern pathway within the motor enclosure, the ventilation pattern pathway passing circumferentially around the motor; and a cooling fan mounted to the motor enclosure, in fluid communication with the ventilation pattern pathway, for cooling said electric motor by producing air flow that passes circumferentially around the motor; wherein an axis of the fan is offset from an axis of the rotor so that the axis of the fan does not intersect the axis of the rotor; wherein the ventilation pathway has an air inlet and an air outlet, the air outlet being positioned adjacent to the air inlet and on the same side of the stator as the air inlet; wherein the fan is positioned within the air inlet of the ventilation pathway; wherein circumferential airflow around the motor is unidirectional; and wherein airflow through the air outlet is opposite in direction from airflow through the air inlet. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said motor has a totally enclosing housing.
