Abstract
A high conveying capacity cooling water pump for an internal combustion engine includes a bearing element, a rotor which is held therein and carries three impellers, an inflow housing and an outflow housing. The outflow housing and the bearing element form a integral unit.
Claims8
A cooling water pump for an internal combustion engine which comprises:
- a housing,
- a rotor positioned in said housing,
- at least two impellers carried by said rotor,
- flow guide housings comprising an inflow housing and an outflow housing, and
- a bearing element in which the rotor is supported and which is adapted for fastening the cooling water pump, said bearing element being provided with a flange surface which is parallel to the axis of the cooling water pump and the outflow opening being formed in the flange surface,
- wherein said bearing element integral with the outflow housing which at least partially encompasses the bearing and wherein the rotor includes a shaft stub which is held in an overhung manner and to which the impellers are fastened.

A cooling water pump for an internal combustion engine which comprises:
- an inflow housing;
- an outflow housing, said outflow housing defining an internal bearing, a flange surface that provides a cooling water outlet port, and a flow channel which at least partly extends around said internal bearing and communicates with said outlet port,
- an two intermediate housing positioned between said inflow housing and said outflow housing, and
- an elongated rotor which is rotatably mounted in said bearing and extends in cantilever fashion through said intermediate housing toward said inflow housing, said rotor defining an axis of said pump and mounting two impellers for conveying cooling water through said pump from said inflow housing to said outlet port, said surface flange extending in parallel with said axis.
