Zusammenfassung:A common lubrication and cooling system includes a lubricant-supported electric motor including a stator and a rotor defining a gap therebetween, with a liquid coolant disposed in the gap for supporting the rotor while allowing the rotor to rotate relative to the stator. The common lubrication and cooling system also includes a liquid-cooled inverter. The liquid-cooled inverter includes a plurality of switch devices configured to supply an alternating current (AC) power to the lubricant-supported electric motor for driving the rotor to rotate. The liquid-cooled inverter also includes a first heatsink mechanically connected to the plurality of switch devices. The liquid-cooled inverter also includes an inverter passageway configured transmit the liquid coolant between the lubricant-supported electric motor and into fluid communication with the first heatsink for transmitting heat away from the first heatsink.
