Abstract

A device for cooling components, comprising a housing in which a cavity is formed, in which a phase-change material is accommodated, the housing having at least one surface, which is able to be brought into contact with the component to be cooled, and at least one heat-dissipating surface. The cavity accommodating the phase-change material is enclosed by at least one coil, and the phase-change material includes ferromagnetic or magnetizable particles. Furthermore a method for cooling a component using the device is described.
