Transmission Oil Cooling Circuit
• Oil flow from the heat exchanger provides the lowest temperature oil to the inverter for improved inverter thermal
stability
• Inverter flow output is then supplied to the motor cooling in series to reduce electric oil pump (EOP) flow
requirements
• Collection and re-use of motor stator output flow into transmission shaft bearing lubrication allows for further EOP
flow reduction whilst also assisting with transmission warm up
