Embodiments of the invention provide an electric machine module and a method for cooling an electric machine. The electric machine module contains an electric machine including a stator with stator end turns and a housing with at least two removably-coupled frame members. Each of the at least two removably-coupled frame members include an inner wall, an outer wall, and a coolant cavity defined between the inner wall and the outer wall. The coolant cavity can be positioned substantially around one of the stator end turns radially and substantially beside the one stator end turn axially.
