Cooling system for variable torque generating electric machine

An electric machine has: a housing having a stator chamber; a shaft supported by at least one bearing assembly such that the shaft is rotatable relative to the housing; a stator assembly having a stator core and a plurality of wire windings around the stator core; a rotor assembly having a magnet assembly for generating a magnetic field in the stator assembly, in which coolant circulates through the stator chamber across the stator core and the plurality of wire windings to remove heat; and a plurality of thermoelectric devices. The thermoelectric devices are positioned about the inner periphery of the housing such that coolant circulates across the plurality of thermoelectric devices. The plurality of thermoelectric devices utilize the Peltier effect to cool coolant flowing through the stator chamber or to generate current usable by the electric machine. 一种电机，具有：壳体，所述壳体具有定子室；轴，所述轴由至少一个轴承组件支撑使得轴可相对于壳体旋转；定子组件，所述定子组件具有定子芯部和绕着定子芯部的多个电线绕组；转子组件，所述转子组件具有用于在定子组件中生成磁场的磁体组件，其中冷却剂经越定子芯部和多个电线绕组地循环通过定子室以移除热；以及多个热电装置。热电装置
