Abstract:
An electrical machine, comprising:a stator; a rotor adapted for rotation with respect to the stator; a plurality of electrical windings operably coupled with the rotor and the stator; a cooling pipe adapted to dissipate heat generated by the windings; a plurality of first heat-conducting inserts adapted to transfer heat generated by the windings, the first heat-conducting inserts each defining a first arc for accommodating a portion of the cooling pipe; and a plurality of second heat-conducing inserts adapted to transfer heal generated by the windings, the second heat-conducting inserts each defining a second arc for accommodating a portion of the cooling pipe; wherein the first heat-conducting inserts and the second heat-conducting inserts are separate pieces adapted for contact with ouch other such that the first arc and the second arc together form a recess; further wherein the cooling pipe is disposed within the recess.
