Demand is high for small, lightweight, and power-dense machines. However, as power increases and size decreases, rejecting losses becomes more difficult. Many novel cooling systems have been developed, which have allowed machines to be made smaller while increasing power. This paper proposes a cooling system making use of soft magnetic composite (SMC) cores to improve cooling specifically in a high-speed axial-flux machine via the use of an integrated cooling channel in the SMC core. A series of experiments on a prototype machine are performed and the experimental data are used to determine a set of parameters for the FEA thermal model. Using the thermal FEA model, a comparison is completed with a traditional closed cooling system using laminated steels and an attached cooling plate.The SMC machine is then simulated at speeds up to 160 krpm and currents up to 8 A. To achieve the same coil temperature between the two designs, the laminated steel model required 4 MPa contact pressure at 10 krpm and 5 MPa contact pressure at 20 krpm. At the same time, the novel design removed approximately 20% more heat per shear air gap surface area and approximately 15% more heat per total machine surface area than the version with the attached cooling plate. Extending the operating range of the model to 160 krpm demonstrated that the maximum temperature rise remained below 180 °C. |
