Abstract

A cooling arrangement for an electrical machine—for example, a permanent-field synchronous machine of a vehicle. The electrical machine is connected to the engine block of the vehicle. In order to ensure cost-effective cooling of the electrical machine, the electrical machine includes a support element, and the engine block includes a cooling element. At least a region of the electrical machine is connected via the support element to the cooling element of the engine block such that the heat generated during operation of the electrical machine dissipates thermally into the engine block.
