First, the losses of various parts of the permanent magnet synchronous motors are obtained through electromagnetic calculations; the analysis results show that the stator core loss, winding copper loss, and eddy current loss of permanent magnets exceed 95% of the total loss of the motor. Second, the cooling performance of the three motor was compared and analyzed. The axial housing liquid cooling and oil spray cooling (Model B) has a better cooling performance and a higher cooling efficiency. Compared with the other two motor models, Model B can reduce the time to reach steady-state temperature by about 81.8%.Then the effects of coolant volume flow rate, coolant inlet temperature, and ambient temperature on the cooling effect of the motor are investi-gated. The results show that within a certain range, the rate of coolant inlet temperature change is approximately proportional to the internal temperature rise of the motor. The oil spray cooling system of Model B is less affected by ambient temperature and can be used for motor cooling in complex environments. The results of this study can provide a useful guidance for the design of the cooling system and the selection of coolant volume flow rate for oil-cooling motor with hairpin windings.}, type={Article}, title={Effects of cooling methods and key parameters on the cooling performance of oil-cooling motor with hairpin windings}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/131588/28_AoT_654_2023_Liu.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ather.2024.150874}, keywords={Hairpin winding, Electromagnetic-thermal coupling, Permanent magnet synchronous motors, Cooling performance, Oil spray cooling}, }
