3.2 Thermal‑Management Architecture

Oil‑cooling circulation route

Mechanical / electric oil pump → Oil filter → Water‑cooled oil cooler
├─ Stator end‑section oil spray via 8 oil nozzles of the drive motor
├─ Rotor centrifugal oil flinging toward the stator
├─ Temperature‑equalised baseplate oil passages for MCU IGBT modules
├─ Oil‑cooled cold plate for the OBC and DC‑DC converter
└─ Oil return to the oil sump for repeated circulation

Key oil‑cooling parameters

  • Dual‑pump configuration combining mechanical and electronic oil pumps
  • Lubricant: ATF transmission fluid (kinematic viscosity: 4‑6 cSt at 100 °C)
  • Total oil capacity: 1.8–2.2 L
  • Rated heat‑dissipation capacity: 8–12 kW
