Abstract

An apparatus includes a housing configured to receive at least a portion of an electric motor. The apparatus also includes a manifold disposed on an upper surface of the housing. The manifold includes a number of vertical jets configured to target one or more portions of the electric motor, the vertical jets includes multiple vias extending between (i) a cavity within the manifold and (ii) an interior portion of the housing. The cavity within the manifold is defined by (i) at least a portion of the upper surface of the housing, (ii) one or more side walls extending from the upper surface of the housing, and (iii) a cover lid coupled to the one or more side walls and configured to cover the cavity and the vias.
