Subject to an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with rigorously limited space and weight, the high-power-density propulsion motor urgently needs an efficient cooling method to improve reliability and stability. In this paper, a cooling improvement method based on heat bridges (HBs) is proposed for the shell-mounted propulsion motor (SmPM) of the AUVs. First, the electromagnetic and thermal characteristics of a 150 kW SmPM are analyzed using a numerical method. Then, a prototype was developed and tested to verify the accuracy of the numerical calculation. Subsequently, in order to further improve the cooling performance of the motor with minimal weight increment, this paper proposes HBs mounted on the end winding. The maximum winding temperature of the motor containing the proposed HBs is decreased by 20 K at the rated operation state. Based on the validated numerical method, the effects of topologies, materials, and geometric parameters on the cooling effect are investigated. Furthermore, according to the required operating time, the SmPM is optimized based on the cooling performance improvement provided by the proposed HBs. The results show that in addition to the benefit of the cooling improvement contributed by the proposed HB, the weight of the propulsion motor is reduced by 7.14%.
