Abstract

A heat exchanger comprising at least one pipe (1) and at least one lamina (2), for exchanging heat between a first coolant that flows through the pipe (1) and a second coolant that wets the heat exchanger under the influence of centrifugal forces in order to be cooled and to be available to further cool a rotating machine element (3) that is situated in a housing (4). The heat exchanger is of approximately ring-shaped design, essentially surrounds the rotating machine element (3) and is integrated into the housing (4).
