Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide an electric machine module. The module can include a housing that can define a machine cavity. The housing can include a sleeve member that can include a first axial sleeve member comprising a first flange, a second flange, and first recess at least partially defined between the first flange and the second flange. The sleeve member can also include a second axial sleeve member comprising a third flange, a fourth flange, and a second recess at least partially defined between the first flange and the second flange. The first axial sleeve member can be coupled to the second axial sleeve member to form the sleeve member and so that the first recess and the second recess form a coolant jacket. An electric machine can be positioned within the machine cavity so that it is substantially circumscribed by a portion of the coolant jacket.
