Just as you cool a spoonful of soup by blowing on it, so can you cool an enclosed motor by blowing air over as much of the outside surface as possible. Such motors are called totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) and they are about the same size for a given horsepower and speed as an open motor; but they are expensive.
