An apparatus and method for cooling a compressor motor () having a motor stator () and cooling a rotor () in a refrigerant system (). The method cools the rotor and the stator, electromagnetic bearings () located within a compressor housing by providing refrigerant liquid to the stator internal channels, the channels being in fluid communication with a rotor passageway (), and a flow-control device () controlling refrigerant flow into the stator. A temperature monitoring device () in communication with a controller () monitors motor temperature. The controller () evaluates the motor temperature and adjusts refrigerant flow through the flow control device (), maintaining the motor () within a predetermined temperature range. 1. A compressor assembly comprising:a compressor housing;{'b': '100', 'a compressor () positioned within the housing;'}{'b': '100', 'a compressor inlet, to input refrigerant gas to the compressor ();'}{'b': '152', 'claim-text': a motor housing,', {'b': 162', '164, 'a stator () positioned within the motor housing, the stator having windings and cooling channels (),'}, {'b': 166', '162', '102, 'a rotor () positioned within the stator (), the rotor having a shaft having a first end connected to an impeller () the compressor and a second end,'}, {'b': 166', '100, 'wherein when electrical current is applied to the stator windings, the rotor () rotates, causing the compressor () to operate;'}, {'b': 160', '166, 'electromagnetic bearings () positioned at both ends of the rotor () to support the rotor when current is applied to the stator windings;'}], 'a motor (), the motor comprising'}{'b': '152', 'claim-text': [{'b': '176', 'a temperature monitoring device () positioned within the stator;'}, {'b': 186', '190', '162, 'a stator inlet () and a stator outlet (), the stator inlet receiving liquid refrigerant for cooling the stator (),'}, {'b': 192', '170', '174', '190, 'a rotor inlet (), a rotor liquid () drain and a rotor gas vent (), the rotor inlet ...
