Patent ID: 8629585

Claim:
An electric machine module comprising: an electric machine including a stator assembly, the stator assembly including a plurality of stator laminations coupled together and a plurality of conductors positioned through axial slots of the plurality of stator laminations, the plurality of stator laminations including at least a first set of stator laminations and a second set of stator laminations positioned adjacent to the first set of stator laminations; a coolant channel at least partially defined within the axial slots of the plurality of stator laminations; the second set of stator laminations each including an additional notch extending radially outward from the axial slots and in fluid communication with the coolant channel; the first set of stator laminations each including an outer notch separate and radially outward from the axial slots and fluid communication with the additional notches; and a coolant jacket at least partially circumscribing the electric machine and in fluid communication with the outer notch of the first set of stator laminations.
