Abstract[English] A cooling system includes cooling channels (30, 34a, 34b) integrated into the laminations (14) of a stator (10), where the laminations (14) are stacked together to form the stator core. The stator (10) has multiple stator slots (16), and multiple windings (18) extending through the stator slots (16). The geometry of the cooling channels (30, 34a, 34b) varies through different groups of the stator laminations (14). This facilitates the cooling channels (30, 34a, 34b) being closer to the primary heat source, which are the stator windings (18), located in the stator slots (16). The coolant enters the stator (10) geometry via one or multiple inlets on the outer surface of the electric motor, and the cooling channels (30, 34a, 34b) are shaped such that the coolant is simultaneously distributed radially and axially. The coolant exits the cooling channels (30, 34a, 34b) from both axial faces through one or multiple outlets (38a, 38b), and makes contact with the end windings (18).[French] La présente invention porte sur un système de refroidissement qui comprend des canaux de refroidissement (30, 34a, 34b) intégrés dans les stratifications (14) d'un stator (10), les stratifications (14) étant empilées ensemble pour former le noyau de stator. Le stator (10) comporte de multiples fentes de stator (16), et de multiples enroulements (18) s'étendant à travers les fentes de stator (16). La géométrie des canaux de refroidissement (30, 34a, 34b) varie à travers différents groupes des stratifications de stator (14). Cela facilite une proximité des canaux de refroidissement (30, 34a, 34b) avec la source de chaleur primaire, qui sont les enroulements de stator (18), situés dans les fentes de stator (16). Le fluide de refroidissement entre dans la géométrie du stator (10) par l'intermédiaire d'une ou de multiples entrées sur la surface externe du moteur électrique, et les canaux de refroidissement (30, 34a, 34b) sont formés de telle sorte que le fluide de refroidissement est simultanément distribué radialement et axialement. Le fluide de refroidissement sort des canaux de refroidissement (30, 34a, 34b) à partir des deux faces axiales à travers une ou plusieurs sorties (38a, 38b), et entre en contact avec les enroulements d'extrémité (18).
