CASE FLOW AUGMENTING ARRANGEMENT FOR COOLING VARIABLE SPEED ELECTRIC MOTOR-PUMPS

摘要

Example fluid circuits (e.g., within aircrafts) include first (12) and second (32) pump assemblies. The first pump assembly has an electric motor (18) and a first fluid pump (16). The first fluid pump is coupled to the electric motor and has a case drain port (30) that is in fluid communication with a case drain region of the first fluid pump. The second pump assembly is powered by hydraulic pressure from the first fluid outlet (22) of the first fluid pump and functions to augment flow through the case drain region of the first fluid pump.
