Abstract :
A direct lamination cooling (DLC) induction motor is under study for application with a hybrid electric vehicle. A lumped-parameter thermal model of Meller is used with specific modifications necessary. The modifications are made in the frame. The laminar flow with in the tubes inserted in the frame of a direct lamination cooling motor is modeled using laminar flow of pipes. The parameters are formulated from purely dimensional data and thermal constants for convection and conduction. The model is proposed to be simulated using PSPICE for solution of heat flow at different locations. The applicability of the model with PSPICE is tested by modeling a typical 75 kW totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) induction machine using Mellor analysis. An empirical DLC model is simulated using the AeroVironment data.
