An electric motor-driven pump, particularly adapted for pumping condensate
from refrigeration and air conditioning systems includes a reservoir
body, a reservoir cover supporting an electric motor directly connected
to a centrifugal pump impeller at one end of the motor rotor shaft and to
a centrifugal cooling air fan at the opposite end of the motor rotor
shaft. The motor is mounted on the reservoir cover and a motor cover
mounted on the reservoir cover defines cooling air inlet and discharge
ports for the flow of cooling air propelled by the fan. Efficient cooling
air movement is obtained in a mechanically uncomplicated arrangement.
