Patent ID: 10658905

Abstract:
A rotating electrical machine includes a rotating electrical machine body including a stator, a rotor, a fan configured to circulate a coolant for cooling the stator and the rotor, and a casing containing the stator, the rotor and the fan; and a cooler connected to the rotating electrical machine body. The coolant flows from the machine body into the cooler. The cooler cools the coolant. The coolant flows out of the cooler into the machine body. The cooler has a flow resistance Ra satisfying a relation 0.15<(Ra/Rm)<(P0/P1), wherein Ra is a flow resistance of the coolant in the cooler, Rm is a flow resistance of the coolant in the rotating electrical machine body, P0 is a shutoff pressure of the fan, and P1 is a pressure at an operating point of the fan when the flow resistance Ra of the cooler is assumed to be zero.
