An enclosure for a fluid pump includes an outer shell defining an enclosure interior, a stator holder disposed in the enclosure interior and at least partially surrounding a motor stator of a motor, and conduits configured to direct air through the enclosure interior. The outer shell includes air inlets positioned to allow air to flow from an ambient space outside of the enclosure into the enclosure interior, and air outlets positioned to allow air to flow from the enclosure interior to the ambient space. The enclosure defines air flow paths running from at least some of the air inlets, to and through the air conduits, and from the air conduits to at least some of the air outlets, thereby cooling the motor during operation. Electronics may be positioned in the enclosure interior, which may also be cooled by the configuration of the enclosure.
An enclosure for a fluid pump, the enclosure comprising:
The fluid pump of claim 20, comprising a drive shaft coupling the motor rotor to the movable pump element and rotatable about a drive axis, wherein the movable pump element comprises a pump rotor configured to rotate about the drive axis.
A fluid pump, comprising:
