Abstract

A pump unit especially for heat producing and heat distributing plant has an electric motor having a rotor which is sealed against the fluid conveyed by the pump unit. The electric motor which is cooled by the conveyed fluid drives a rotary pump for controlling the speed of the unit. Part of the stream of the conveyed fluid which is diverted for cooling the electric motor and the frequency converter, flows through a cooling jacket which receives the motor. The frequency converter is attached to the outside of the cooling jacket in heat conducting relationship therewith and the frequency converter and the motor are received in a common housing.
