Cooling device

The invention relates to a cooling device for cooling a component (101), comprising: a cooling channel (5) which is formed in the cooling device (1) and has a plurality of intermediate sections (51) and a plurality of deflection sections (52), the cooling channel (5) being filled with a working medium (6) which is present in both gaseous and liquid forms in the cooling channel (5); a bottom region (2) of the cooling device (1), which can be connected to the component (101) to be cooled in a heat-conducting manner; a deflection region (3) of the cooling device (1); an intermediate region (4) between the base region (2) and the deflection region (3), in which intermediate sections (51) each extend from the base region (2) to the deflection region (3), in which deflection sections (52) each form a reversal of direction within the base region (2) and within the deflection region (3) and each connect the two intermediate sections (51) to one another, a first deflection section (52a) in the bottom region (2) connec
