A turbomachine having a rotor that extends along a rotational axis and a radial bearing in which the rotor is radially mounted on a radial bearing point. In the axial region of the radial bearing point, the rotor has a hollow chamber annularly located in the circumferential direction in the region of the outer 20% of the diameter of the radial bearing point and which is thermally insulating between a radially inner core region of the rotor in the region of the radial bearing point and the radial outer region of the rotor in the region of the radial bearing point. A first shaft end of the rotor protrudes from the axial center of the radial bearing point by a projection over the radial bearing point, wherein a first quotient QLO of the projection OVH divided by the total length TLE of the rotor QLO=OVH/TLE>0.15.

An electric pump includes a pump housing, a rotor assembly, a stator assembly, an isolation sleeve, a heat dissipation plate and an electric control board. The pump housing defines a pump inner chamber; the pump inner chamber is partitioned into a first cavity and a second cavity by the isolation sleeve; the rotor assembly is disposed in the first cavity; the stator assembly and the electric control board are disposed in the second cavity; the isolation sleeve comprises a bottom portion; at least a portion of the heat dissipation plate is disposed between the electric control board and the bottom portion; at least a portion of the bottom portion and at least a portion of the heat dissipation plate are in direct contact, or are filled with thermal silicone grease or thermal silica therebetween, or are provided with a thermal patch therebetween.

A pump system for pumping water for pools or other flow systems including a pump, a motor, an electronic assembly, and a cooling system. The cooling system provides heat transfer from the pump system to the process flow.

A control unit for an air pump provided with a motor is provided to perform a energization switching control for unfreezing of switching energization and non-energization to a coil of the motor to unfreeze the air pump when the air pump is determined to be frozen, and to vary at least any one of an energization time and a non-energization time to the coil when the energization switching control for unfreezing is to be carried out.

A pump cooling system may include a cooling body configured to be fitted to a pump housing to receive heat from the pump housing via a heat conducting path between the cooling body and pump housing. The cooling body may have a passage through which, in use, a cooling fluid is passed to conduct heat away from the cooling body. The pump cooling system includes a cooling control mechanism configured to provide a gap in the heat conducting path at pump operating temperatures below a predefined temperature so heat conduction from the pump housing to the cooling body is interrupted.

A washing machine appliance is provided including a sump for collecting wash fluid and a pump assembly fluidly coupled to the sump for urging a flow of wash fluid. The pump assembly includes a pump housing, a pump impeller, and a drive motor for selectively rotating the pump impeller. A heat pipe assembly extends between the drive motor and the flow of wash fluid to transfer thermal energy generated by the motor to the wash fluid. For example, an evaporator section of the heat pipe may be in direct contact with the drive motor and a condenser section of the heat pipe may be positioned within pump housing.

A pump assembly (1) includes a rotor axle (45) extending along a rotor axis (R), an impeller (12) fixed to the rotor axle (45), a pump housing (11) accommodating the impeller (12), and a drive motor with a stator (17) and a rotor (51). The rotor (51) is fixed to the rotor axle (45) for driving the impeller (12). A rotor can (57) accommodates the rotor (51). The rotor can (57) includes a rotor can flange (63). An electronics housing (13) has a cap (21) including a first material (139) forming a front face (19) of the cap (21). The front face (19) extends essentially perpendicular to the rotor axis (R). The first material (139) is at least partially overmolded with a second material (141) at an inner side of the cap (21). The second material (141) is more heat-conductive than the first material (139).

A bearing housing for a flow machine includes a bearing axis, a bearing chamber, a lubricant chamber and internal cooling fins. The bearing chamber is configured to receive a bearing. The lubricant chamber is configured to receive a lubricant. The lubricant chamber and the bearing chamber are in flow communication via an opening. The lubricant chamber includes a wall portion configured to dissipate heat to the environment, and the wall portion has an inner surface directed towards the lubricant chamber and an outer surface directed towards the environment. The internal cooling fins are arranged at a part of the inner surface.

Provided is a fluid pump assembly. The pump has a pair of housings magnetically coupled to each other. The first housing contains a drive motor and a magnetic assembly. The second housing contains a magnetic assembly and a blade for imparting movement to a fluid. As the first magnetic assembly is rotated by the drive motor, the magnetic connection to the assembly in the second housing causes the second magnet to rotate, driving the blade.
