Abstract

In order to assure efficient cooling and a temperature balance between the stator and the rotor, an asynchronous electric motor is provided containing a closed cooling liquid circuit which passes successively into the stator (1) and into the shaft (3) of the rotor, over the entire length of the stator and the rotor. A pump (15) is incorporated in the rotor shaft. The liquid is injected into the pump by a stationary axial tube (16) and comes out again between the shaft and this tube. The pump includes a centrifugal pumping member (20) fixed to the bottom of the bore of the shaft, and longitudinal-blades (21) fixed to the shaft facing an external helicoid rib (17) of the injection tube. The liquid is cooled by the ambient air along the periphery of the stator.
