Cooling System Sizing using LPTN Analysis and Multiphysics Modelling for an Axial Flux Machine and Integrated Drive (2022)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper a Lumped Parameter Thermal Network (LPTN) is proposed for a Yokeless and Segmented Armature (YASA) axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine. A simulation model is used to examine the machine in isolation, with an Integrated Motor Driv...
