Zusammenfassung:A rotary mechanical system includes an electric machine, such as an electric motor, and a housing at least partially housing one or more components of the electric machine. The housing defines an electrical cavity and a coolant cavity. The electrical cavity houses one or more electrical components, such as a stator, of the electric machine. The coolant cavity is configured to receive a liquid coolant, such as ethylene glycol and water, from a liquid coolant system. The housing is configured to seal a two-phase refrigerant within the electrical cavity to transfer heat from the one or more electrical components to a wall of the electrical cavity and from the wall of the electrical cavity to the liquid coolant.
