Abstract

The focus of this paper is to investigate the practicality of incorporating immersion cooling methods to mitigate the temperature elevation of motors utilized in hybrid aircraft. Air cooling, oil jacket cooling, slot-channel oil cooling and immersion cooling techniques are each applied to a permanent magnet synchronous motor. When a hybrid aircraft is operating, the amount of fuel it carries is limited and decreases over time. In this case, the normal operating time of the motor is investigated in this paper. The study shows that for the motors in this paper, immersion cooling is the most effective with a limited amount of coolant and takes the longest time to reach the upper temperature limit, which can be improved by 5.6 times compared to slot-channel cooling. This paper serves as a reference for the design of motors for hybrid aircraft utilizing immersion cooling technology.
