Adapter plate with heat exchanger for a pump and motor

Abstract:

A pump assembly includes a pump having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, and an electric motor having a drive mechanism that is connected to the pump mechanism. The assembly includes an adapter plate having an inlet port, an outlet port, and at least one fluid passage between the inlet port and the outlet port. The at least one fluid passage is at least partially defined by the adapter plate. The motor is thermally coupled to the adapter plate and the fluid outlet of the pump is fluidly connected to the inlet port of the adapter plate. The pump is configured to pump fluid through the at least one fluid passage of the adapter plate, and the adapter plate is configured to discharge the fluid.
