An electric machine includes a rotor within a cavity defined within a stator. A liquid coolant is utilized to cool the stator and rotor. The liquid coolant flows through a gap defined between the stator and the rotor. A second coolant is provided that is contained within a second cavity disposed annularly about the first cavity. Thermal energy is transferred away from the gap by way of the first coolant flowing through the gap and by natural convection of the second liquid coolant within the second cavity. The additional mechanism for transferring heat enhances electric machine operation and provides increased operational capacities.
