According to a preferred embodiment, the second housing 62 and the third housing 63 are separated by a second separation wall 623.
In other words, the command chamber 630 and the stator chamber 622 are partitioned by the second partition wall 623. The second separation wall 623 axially defines and tightly seals the motor chamber 620 together with the first separation wall 624.
In the first preferred embodiment, the second separation wall 623 is included in the second housing 62.
In the second preferred embodiment, the second separation wall 623 is included in the third housing 61.
In another embodiment, a portion of the second separation wall 623 is included in the second housing 62 and another portion is included in the third housing 63.

Preferably, the second end 625 "engages the bottom of the second housing 62. Preferably, the second end 625 "is adjacent to the third housing 62, tightly sealing the second separation wall 623.
Thus, according to a preferred embodiment, the intermediate tubular wall 625, and in particular the first end 625' thereof, divides the motor surface 629 into at least two distinct surfaces. In particular, the intermediate tubular wall 625 divides the first separation wall 624 (and in particular the motor surface 629) into a rotor portion 6291 axially facing the rotor 41 and a stator portion 6292 axially facing the stator 42.
In other words, the motor surface 629 comprises the rotor portion 6291 and the stator portion 6292.
According to the application, the pump stack 1 comprises a thermally conductive resin.
Preferably, for example, the thermally conductive resin is a thermally conductive epoxy resin.
Preferably, for example, the thermally conductive resin is two-component, for example it is made of polydimethylsiloxane.
Specifically, the heat conductive resin has a high heat conductivity, and is therefore suitable for forming a preferential heat vector in the pump body 6. In other words, the placement of the heat conductive resin helps to cool the motor 4 by heat conduction.
According to the application, the thermally conductive resin at least partially covers the motor surface 629 included in the first separation wall 624 for cooling the stator chamber 622 by thermal conduction.
Specifically, in fact, the first separation wall 624 (specifically the impeller surface 628) is wetted by the cooling liquid and cooled. Meanwhile, the first separation wall 624 also includes a stator portion 6292 facing the stator chamber 629. Thus, the heat generated by the stator 62 heats the stator portion 6292.
According to the above, there is a temperature gradient between the impeller surface 628 and the stator portion 6292, and the thermally conductive resin forms a preferential thermal vector affecting the temperature gradient so as to guide the temperature gradient.
In other words, the heat generated by the stator 62 and present in the stator chamber 620 is the object of the heat vector achieved by the heat conductive resin, and the heat is thus transferred from the stator chamber 620 to the impeller chamber 610 via the heat conduction through the first separation wall 624.
According to a preferred embodiment, the thermally conductive resin at least partially covers the stator tubular surface 626 for cooling the stator chamber 620 by thermal conduction.
Specifically, on the intermediate tubular wall 625, there is a temperature gradient between the stator tubular surface 626, heated by the heat present in the stator chamber 622, and the rotor tubular surface 626' cooled by the cooling liquid flowing in the rotor chamber 621. Heat transfer from the stator chamber 622 to the rotor chamber 621 occurs via heat conduction through the intermediate tubular wall 625, and the presence of the thermally conductive resin facilitates such heat exchange.
According to another preferred embodiment, the thermally conductive resin at least partially covers the second separation wall 623 for cooling the command chamber 630 by thermal conduction.
In a preferred embodiment, the electronic command board 5 is accommodated in the command chamber 630 in a region close to the second separating wall 624.
In a preferred embodiment variant, the electronic command board 5 is fixed (e.g. bolted or glued) to the second separation wall 623.
In a preferred embodiment, a thermally conductive resin is placed between the second separation wall 623 and the electronic instruction board 5.
Thereby, the transfer by heat conduction of the heat present in the command chamber 630 through the second separation wall 623 is optimized. In other words, the electronic command board 5 is cooled more effectively due to the presence of the heat conductive resin covering the second separation wall 623.
In a preferred embodiment variant, the electronic command board 5 is fixed (e.g. bolted or glued) to the second separation wall 623, and a thermally conductive resin is also placed around said electronic command board 5.
According to a preferred embodiment, the thermally conductive resin at least partially covers the central portion 6231 facing the command chamber 630 so as to cool the command chamber 630 by convection.
Specifically, there is a temperature gradient between the central portion 6231 heated by the heat generated by the electronic command board 5 and the auxiliary cooling chamber 631 cooled by the coolant at this time.
In other words, the electronic command board 5 is cooled more effectively to a greater extent.
According to a preferred embodiment, in the above embodiment, the heat conductive resin is positioned on the aforementioned wall in the form of a film.
In other words, the thermally conductive resin is positioned on the associated wall with a minimum thickness.
In other embodiments, the thermally conductive resin is positioned in layers on the aforementioned walls and surfaces. Thus, unlike the previous embodiment in the form of a film, it has a greater thickness.
In particular, it is preferable that the thickness of the heat conductive resin is such that the heat conductive resin is in contact with the corresponding wall on which it is located on one side and in contact with a surface (e.g., a surface of the stator) included in the facing component on the other side.

According to a preferred embodiment, the thermally conductive resin is positioned in radial contact with the stator tubular surface 626 and the inner surface of said stator 41.
Thus, in these preferred embodiments, the presence of the thermally conductive resin allows heat transfer directly therethrough, thereby allowing the respective walls and surfaces to communicate and contact. In other words, the presence of air between the relevant wall and surface is eliminated.
According to a preferred embodiment, air is present in the stator chamber 622 and preferably in the command chamber 630, except for the areas where thermally conductive resin is present.

In addition, the oil contacts the heat conductive resin and transfers heat present in the stator chamber 622 and preferably the command chamber 630 to the heat conductive resin by convection.
In other words, the cooling of the entire electronic component is further improved due to the combined presence of the oil and the thermally conductive resin.
In one embodiment, oil is present in the stator chamber 622 and the command chamber 630 in an amount such that the oil contacts the thermally conductive resin in any orientation of the pump stack within the vehicle.
Preferably, the oil is dielectric, i.e. it does not allow electric current to conduct therein.

Thereby, the cooling of the entire electronic component is further improved by the presence of the thermally conductive resin which completely covers the stator 62 and preferably the electronic command board 5.
According to a preferred embodiment, it is noted that the second separation wall 623 comprises at least one fluid channel 623' adapted to fluidly connect the stator chamber 622 and the command chamber 630.
