Convective cooling improvment in electric motors

Environmental sustainability has become the main theme of our years. Traditional internal combustion engines are increasingly being replaced by electric motors which require ever greater performance and efficiency. To allow a correct and efficient parallel operation, a technological development of the cooling techniques of the electric motors is necessary. The objective of this study is the improvement of the convective cooling of a reluctance electric motor, analyzing and researching the optimal design that allows a more efficient cooling of the motor itself. With the help of Altair’s computing and modeling software (Inspire, HyperWorksCFD, AcuSolve).
