Abstract
A fixed stator is arranged around a rotatably mounted rotor in an electric motor that includes at least one cooling unit to which parts of the stator which are to be cooled are thermally coupled by a line system in which a cooling agent circulates according to a thermosyphon effect. The stator parts to be cooled can be arranged in the inner region of a stator housing which is integrated into the line system. The electric motor can be provided with a heating device to maintain the pressure in the inner region when the motor is stopped.

11. An electrical machine, comprising:
-
a rotor rotatably mounted;
a stator associated with said rotor in a stationary position; and
a cooling device, cooling at least parts of said stator, including a refrigeration unit having at least one cold surface; and
a closed line system, thermally coupling said refrigeration unit to the parts of said stator to be cooled, having discrete coolant areas associated with the parts of said stator to be cooled, and in which a coolant is circulated by a thermosiphon effect, the coolant being heated or at least partially vaporized in the discrete coolant areas. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
