Rotating electric machine

A rotating electric machine comprising:

• a stator having an annular stator core and a coil wound around the stator core;
• a rotor that is disposed on an inner peripheral side of the stator and that includes a rotary shaft, a rotor core to which the rotary shaft is fixed, and a magnet fixed to the rotor core;
• and
• a refrigerant channel through which refrigerant for cooling the stator flows, wherein
• the refrigerant channel has:
• a first refrigerant channel through which the refrigerant flows along a circumferential direction surrounding the rotary shaft;
• a second refrigerant channel which communicates with the first refrigerant channel, and through which the refrigerant flows along an axial direction of the rotary shaft;
• a third refrigerant channel which communicates with the second refrigerant channel, and through which the refrigerant flows along the circumferential direction surrounding the rotary shaft;
• and
• a refrigerant supply channel that supplies the refrigerant to the first refrigerant channel first among the first refrigerant channel, the second refrigerant channel, and the third refrigerant channel,
• the third refrigerant channels are provided at both ends of the stator core in the axial direction,
• the first refrigerant channel is provided between the two third refrigerant channels respectively provided at both ends of the stator core in the axial direction,
• the second refrigerant channel has one second refrigerant channel that has one end communicating with the first refrigerant channel and the other end communicating with one of the two third refrigerant channels, and the other second refrigerant channel that has one end communicating with the first refrigerant channel and the other end communicating with the other of the two third refrigerant channels, and
• the first refrigerant channel, the second refrigerant channel, and the third refrigerant channel are configured so that the refrigerant supplied to the first refrigerant channel flows from the one second refrigerant channel to the one third refrigerant channel, and the refrigerant supplied to the first refrigerant channel flows from the other second refrigerant channel to the other third refrigerant channel.
