Abstract
A device for cooling superconducting machines has a closed thermal siphon system which can be filled with a liquid coolant and has an evaporator for evaporating the liquid coolant. In order to improve the cooling performance of the device, the surface area of the evaporator which can be wetted with the liquid coolant is increased.

1-8. (canceled)
A device for cooling a superconducting machine, comprising:
- a closed thermal siphon system to receive a liquid coolant;
- and
- an evaporator to evaporate the liquid coolant, the evaporator having a displacer to displace the liquid coolant and thereby increase a surface area of the evaporator which can be wetted per volume of liquid coolant.
