Abstract
A component for an electrical machine is disclosed. The component is a stator and/or a rotor. The component includes a core, a magnetic field-generating component, and an oscillating heat pipe assembly. The core includes a plurality of slots and the magnetic field-generating component is disposed in at least one slot of the plurality of slots. The oscillating heat pipe assembly is disposed in the core and the at least one slot of the plurality of slots. The oscillating heat pipe assembly is in contact with the core and the magnetic field-generating component. The oscillating heat pipe assembly includes a dielectric material, and where the oscillating heat pipe assembly has an in-plane thermal conductivity higher than a through-plane thermal conductivity.
