Abstract
A fluid pump includes a housing; an outlet; an inlet plate within the housing and having an inlet; an outlet plate disposed within the housing and having an outlet plate outlet passage; an electric motor which rotates about an axis; a pumping arrangement rotationally coupled to the electric motor such that rotation of the pumping arrangement causes fluid to be pumped from the inlet to the outlet plate outlet passage and through the outlet; a diverter plate between the outlet plate outlet passage and the electric motor and having a diverter passage which provides fluid communication from the outlet plate outlet passage, past the electric motor, to the outlet, the diverter plate also having an imperforate wall which is axially aligned with the outlet plate outlet passage such that the imperforate wall laterally directs fluid from the outlet passage to the diverter passage.
