Electric Motor Cooling Systems: An Overview
Electric motors play a ubiquitous role in our surroundings, prominently present in every major industry and numerous devices integral to our daily lives. Take, for example, the author's morning routine, which leans on electric motors when operating a coffee grinder, firing up a desktop computer for news consumption, and even configuring an automatic cat feeder. These motors adeptly transform electrical energy into mechanical energy through the dynamic interplay of magnetic fields generated within the motor's stator and rotor windings. Tailored to meet diverse power needs across industries and applications, electric motors come in an array of strengths and sizes. Electric motors boast impressively high efficiency ratings, often surpassing 90 percent. In simpler terms, a substantial portion of the supplied electrical energy efficiently transforms into mechanical output, with only around 10 percent being dissipated as heat. Thermal management emerges as a primary challenge
