A cooling fluid pump in which a cooling fluid is caused to flow to cool a heating
element includes a casing brought into a direct contact or an indirect contact
via a heat transfer member with the heating element, a pump chamber defined in
the casing, an impeller rotatably mounted in the pump chamber and including a pump
groove formed in either one of both axial end faces, the impeller having an axis
of rotation located radially away from a center of the casing, an inlet formed
in the casing so that the cooling fluid is supplied through the inlet into the
pump chamber by an action of the pump groove with rotation of the impeller, and
an outlet formed in the casing so that the cooling fluid is discharged through
the outlet out of the pump chamber by an action of the pump groove with rotation
of the impeller.
