Claim 32:
33. The cooling plate apparatus of claim 32, wherein the cooling plate apparatus enables a flow of fluid coolant through interconnected components in fluid communication comprising:
a coolant source, comprising one or more of coolant pumps, coolant reservoirs, coolant junctions, or coolant outlets;
an inlet line comprising a high-pressure line or fluid conduit disposed through a fluid conduit bore of a fourth subset of the plurality of bores that is removably connected to, and in fluid communication with, at a first end, the coolant source, comprising one or more of coolant pumps, coolant reservoirs, coolant junctions, or coolant outlets, and at a second end, an inlet of a cooling system or fluid circulation system of the electric motor, using a throughlet fitting;
a first intermediate line comprising a high-pressure line or fluid conduit disposed through another fluid conduit bore of the fourth subset of the plurality of bores that is removably connected to, and in fluid communication with, at a first end, an outlet of the cooling system or fluid circulation system of the electric motor using a throughlet fitting, and at a second end, an inlet fitting of the one or more fluid inlets of the cooling body configured to receive fluid coolant into the interior fluid cavity of the cooling body of the cooling plate apparatus;
the interior fluid cavity shaped to circulate fluid coolant around a central axis of the cooling plate apparatus in a direction from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet while maintaining fluid contact with one or more of an interior surface of the hub wall, an interior surface of the top wall, an interior surface of the base wall, an interior surface of the perimeter wall, an interior surface of the partition wall, an interior surface of an aperture wall, or combinations thereof;
an outlet line comprising a high-pressure line or fluid conduit removably connected to, and in fluid communication with, at a first end, a fluid outlet of the interior fluid cavity of the cooling body of the cooling plate apparatus via a fluid outlet fitting, and at a second end of the outlet line, the coolant source; and
thereby directing a flow of coolant from the coolant source, through the inlet line, through the cooling system or fluid circulation system of the electric motor; from the cooling system or fluid circulation system of the electric motor into the cooling plate apparatus, through the first intermediate line, into the interior fluid cavity of the cooling body of the cooling plate apparatus via the one or more fluid inlets, around the central axis of the cooling plate apparatus, in a direction from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet, out of the interior fluid cavity via the fluid outlet through an outlet line via a fluid outlet fitting, back to the coolant source, cooling the electric motor and parts thereof by conduction, convection, radiation, and thereby transporting unheated fluid coolant to, and heated coolant from, the electric motor in an iterative cycle.
