Summary

The present study focuses on the use of lubricating oil as a coolant for electrical motors. Oil is introduced at each side of a 40 kWtest machine to directly cool the stator coil end-windings. An experimental setup has been implemented to test different oil injection patterns. The influence of the oil flow rate, rotation speed and oil temperature has been investigated (40 L/h
