Early adopters of new transportation technologies: Attitudes of Russia’s population towards car sharing, the electric car and autonomous driving—Thurner, 2021
Electric cars are a crucial solution to modern cities' carbon-neutrality concerns. Thermal management for electric motors has garnered increased attention from business and academia. Because current electric car motors must be more powerful and competitive with increased torque, speed, and power density, efficient thermal management is vital for motor efficiency, longevity, and safety. Thermal management failure causes magnet demagnetization, insulation aging, decreased efficiency, shortened life, and motor burnout. This paper reviews the latest theoretical modeling and experimental heat management strategies to inform future research. Air cooling (natural and forced air cooling, air impingement cooling) and liquid cooling (water/oil jacket cooling, jet impingement cooling, spray cooling, immersion cooling, slot channel forced convection cooling) for the stator, winding and rotor are reviewed. Meanwhile, conduction methods such as potting materials, thermal paste, heat guides, PCMs, and heat pipes are discussed. Then, extreme-condition thermal management hybrids are discussed. Last, future research and applications are suggested. The paper should inspire new electric motor thermal management approaches.
