Integrating a Heat Sink into Concentrated Wound Coils to Improve the Current Density of an Axial Flux, Direct Liquid Cooled Electrical Machine with Segmented Stator

This paper proposes a new construction with a heat sink integrated into the concentrated wound coils of an axial flux, direct liquid cooled electrical machine. A preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of the heat sink and its position is made using computational fluid dynamics. Lumped-parameter...
