ELECTRIC MACHINE WITH A STATOR ASSEMBLY AND IMMERSION COOLING SYSTEM

Systems and methods for a stator assembly in an electric machine. The stator assembly, in one example, includes a stator core that is mated with a stator sleeve at an interface that includes a first section that forms an interference fit between the stator core and the stator sleeve and an attachment device that axial retains the stator core within the stator sleeve. In the stator assembly, the stator sleeve includes a coolant deflector that is profiled to direct a coolant through stator end windings and into one or more coolant channels that extend through the stator core from an inlet side coolant chamber to an outlet side coolant chamber.
