Abstract
According to some embodiments, systems for an integrated pump and cold plate may be provided. In some embodiments, a pump may comprise a housing defining an inlet to accept a fluid and an outlet to evacuate the fluid, an impeller disposed within the housing, wherein the impeller is to move the fluid toward the outlet, a motor to power the impeller, and a cold plate disposed at least partially within the housing. In some embodiments, the pump may also or alternatively comprise a motor to power the impeller, wherein the motor comprises a rotor and at least two magnets disposed within the housing and at least two electromagnetic coils disposed outside of the housing.
Claims18
A system, comprising:
- a pump comprising:
- a housing defining an inlet to accept a fluid and an outlet to evacuate the fluid;
