Effect of Rotor Geometry on Rotor Air Cooling of a Ventilated Axial-Flux Permanent Magnet Machine
Abstract
High heat losses are generated in the rotors of Axial-flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) machines due to their high power density. Therefore, they require intensive cooling to maintain safe continuous and peak power operation. For ventilated-type machines, air cooling is the predominant cooling method that keeps the rotor magnets temperature below critical limits. Integration of air-cooling features such as protruding magnets, rotor vents, and rotor …
