An electric machine includes a direct-cooling thermal management system that circulates a coolant fluid to the electric machine's outer housing. A stator assembly, which is attached to the housing, includes a stator core with one or more electromagnetic windings mounted to the stator core. A rotor assembly is rotatably mounted to the hosing adjacent the stator assembly. The rotor assembly includes a rotor core with one or more magnets mounted to the rotor core and spaced across an air gap from the winding(s). Select components of the outer housing, rotor assembly, and/or stator assembly have a target surface with an oleophobic surface treatment that reduces the non-target surface's wetted area and decreases the mass of coolant fluid contacting the non-target surface.

A stator structure and a flat wire motor are provided. The stator structure comprises a stator core, stator windings and an avoidance layer. The stator core has an inner cylinder cavity, and a plurality of iron core slots arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction on an end face of the stator core. The iron core slot is communicated with the inner cylinder cavity via a slot opening. The stator windings have a plurality of layers of flat wire conductor wound in the iron core slots. The avoidance layer is located between the slot opening and a first layer of flat wire conductor in a radial direction of the stator core.

Another stator structure is provided and includes a plurality of first lamination layers, a second lamination layer and two oil spraying rings. The second lamination layer is sandwiched in between two first lamination layers. The two oil spraying rings are connected to two first lamination layers located at outermost sides. By means of the arrangement of the aforesaid stator structure, the invention can effectively improve heat dissipating effect for oil cooling.

A stator arrangement for an electric engine having an inner rotor. The present invention furthermore relates to an electric engine for a charging device, in particular for an internal combustion engine or a fuel cell, having such a stator arrangement. The stator arrangement comprises an outer stator core with electrical windings, and a separate inner stator core, which is arranged inside the outer stator core and is designed to receive the rotor.
