fluid source such as a pump not shown and is capable of delivering pressurized fluid via the flow passage 40 u2032 to the annular recess 36 u2032 for illustrative purposes the valve body 42 u2032 is shown directly adjacent to the flow passage 40 u2032 however the valve body 42 u2032 may be more remotely located and connected via hydraulic passages to the flow passage 40 u2032 an o ring 33 u2032 is disposed between the first portion of the housing 30 u2032 and the first annular stator support 86 a u2032 to help prevent leakage of fluid from a space formed between the annular recess 36 u2032 and the first portion 30 u2032 of the housing additionally the fluid source or pump may be located anywhere on the vehicle and fluidly connected with the valve body 42 u2032 as will be understood by those skilled in the art a plurality of circumferentially spaced radial openings 46 a u2032 are formed in first the annular stator support 86 a u2032 to permit fluid communication between the annular recess 36 u2032 and the interior space 28 u2032 specifically the circumferentially spaced radial openings 46 a u2032 direct fluid onto first end i e left side stator windings 48 b u2032 of the stator 22 b u2032 to cool the windings 48 b u2032 the circumferentially spaced radial openings 46 a u2032 may be designed to present the fluid in the form of a mist over the stator windings 48 b u2032 to prevent wear associated with high velocity fluid spray e g by varying the diameter of.
