Abstract

A cooling of Axial BLDC Motor are very importance to avoid overheat. Overheat on Axial BLDC motors can be done by enlarging the heat transfer so the performance keep on specification. This paper uses a numerical approach with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and perform validation using experiments. The experiment was conducted using Thermal Camera to obtain the temperature distribution in Axial BLDC Motor and using thermal measurement with thermistor. Thermistor mounted at 3 point, such as winding, core and cover casing. The simulation are validated with experimental results both qualitative and quantitative. Maximum error of simulation and experiment is 6.93% so this simulation can be used to evaluate a cooling system of this Axial BLDC Motor. Finally, Winding temperature at the speed of 100kph is 105°C ± 6.93% with magnetic temperature of 57.8°C ± 6.93%. These results show that a cooling system of Axial BLDC Motor is safe according to operating conditions.
