Abstract
A pump group of a cooling system of a vehicle is provided. The pump group extends along a main axis and includes an axial flow stator that produces an electromagnetic action in a direction parallel to the main axis, and two command modules positioned at two opposite axial ends of the axial flow stator. Each command module has an impeller, an impeller shaft extending along the main axis and having an impeller end, the impeller being integrally connected to the impeller end, and a control portion configured to receive a rotational control action. A rotor is integrally connected to the control portion that is controllable in rotation by action of the axial flow stator.

A pump group of a cooling system of a vehicle, the pump group extending along a main axis and comprising:
- an axial flow stator that produces an electromagnetic action in a direction parallel to the main axis;
- a first command module and a second command module, positioned at two opposite axial ends of the axial flow stator, each command module defining a respective impeller chamber in which cooling liquid flows, wherein each command module comprises:
- i) an impeller;
- ii) an impeller shaft that extends along the main axis and comprises an impeller end, the impeller being integrally connected to said impeller end, and a control portion configured to receive a rotational control action;
- and
- iii) a rotor integrally connected to said control portion controllable in rotation by action of the axial flow stator;
- and
- a pump body comprising a specially shaped stator chamber, in which the axial flow stator is housed, wherein the first and second command modules are mounted to the pump body on two opposite axial sides,
- wherein each command module further comprises a module casing, the impeller chamber being defined in said module casing, a flat shell and a volute shell mutually engaged with each other, and wherein the impeller shaft is supported aligned with the main axis by the flat shell through a support opening and the control portion protrudes from the flat shell.
