  • the pumping element 36 in the present example is an impeller 70 which has an impeller inlet 72 configured for drawing in liquid during rotation of the impeller 70, and an impeller outlet 74 configured for discharging liquid in a generally radial direction.
  • the module housing 32 and the impeller 70 together form a centrifugal pump.
  • the module housing 32 has an impeller outlet receiving chamber 76, which is a portion of the pump chamber 34 that is radially outside the impeller 70 for transporting coolant from the impeller outlet 74 to the outlet port 40e.
  • the impeller 70 is connected to a toothed pulley 77 ( Figure 4A) so as to be driven by a timing belt (not shown) from the engine.
  • the impeller 70 could be driven by an electric motor.
  • the pumping element 36 may be any other suitable type of element that moves coolant.
  • the pumping element 36 may be a piston that is movable so as to form a positive-displacement pump with the module housing 32.
  • the pump flow restriction member 38 is movable to a plurality of pump flow restriction member positions to control a size of the flow of coolant through the pump chamber 34.
  • the pump flow restriction member 38 is a tongue 78 that is pivotably mounted to the module housing 32 by virtue of shafts 48 (Figure 4A) that extend from the tongue 78 into receiving apertures 49 (one of which is shown in Figure 4B) in the module housing 32.
  • the tongue 78 is pivotable to a first tongue position in which the tongue 78 occludes a first amount of cross-sectional flow area in the pump chamber 34, and is pivotable to a second tongue position in which the tongue 78 occludes a second amount of cross-sectional flow area in the pump chamber 34, wherein the second amount of cross- sectional flow area is greater than the first amount of cross-sectional flow area.
  • the position of the tongue in Figure 10B may be considered the first tongue position, wherein the line 80a represents the first amount of cross-sectional area of the pump chamber 34 that is occluded by the tongue 78, and the position of the tongue 78 in Figure 8B may be considered the second tongue position, wherein the line 80b represents the second amount of cross-sectional area of the pump chamber 34 that is occluded by the tongue 78.
  • the tongue 78 occludes the entirety of the cross- sectional area of the pump chamber 34 such that there is only a leakage flow that passes out of the pump chamber 34.
  • the leakage flow is substantially zero.
  • the leakage flow may be less than some selected value, such as 100ml/minute, or 50 ml/minute.
  • the tongue 78 is similar to the element referred to as a diverter in PCT publication WO2017/124198, the contents of which are incorporated herein fully by reference.
  • the tongue 78 thus forms at least a portion of a volute 82 around at least a portion of the impeller 70.
  • a volute is a region of the impeller outlet receiving chamber 76 that has a cross-sectional area that increases progressively from an upstream end (shown at 84) to a downstream end 85 (as shown in Figure 3).
  • the volute 82 occupies substantially the entire impeller outlet receiving chamber 76, apart from the outlet region shown at 86.
  • the volute 82 has a cross-sectional area that increases progressively from the upstream end 84 of the tongue 78 towards the downstream end 85 of the tongue 78 sufficiently that a speed of the coolant flowing through the volute 82 remains substantially constant during rotation of the impeller 70 at a selected rpm. It will be noted that the speed of the coolant flowing through the volute 82 (or through substantially any passageway) will vary over the cross- sectional area of the volute 82. Flowever, at any point along the length of the volute 82, the coolant has an average speed taking into account the speed profile over the cross-sectional area. Thus, when it is stated that the speed of the coolant flowing through the volute 82 remains substantially constant, it is meant that the volute 82 may be shaped such that the average speed of the liquid remains substantially constant along the circumferential length of the volute 82.
  • the pump flow restriction member 38 may be a tongue 87 that does not form part of a volute around the impeller 70.
  • the tongue 87 may be generally straight, and may thus reduce the efficiency of the pump progressively as it restricts coolant flow through the module housing 32.
  • the aperture plate 42 has a port side 88 that faces and engages the first, second, third and fourth ports 40a-40d. Based on this engagement, the ports 40a, 40b, 40c and 40d may be referred to as controlled ports, since flow through these ports is controlled by the aperture plate 42, while the remaining ports 40e and 40f may be referred to as uncontrolled ports.
  • the aperture plate 42 further has a pump chamber side 90 that faces the pump chamber 34, and a plurality of aperture plate apertures 92 that extend through from the port side 88 to the pump chamber side 90. The aperture plate apertures 92 control coolant flow through the ports 40.
  • each aperture plate aperture 92 controls coolant flow through at least one of the ports 40.
  • the aperture plate 42 has four aperture plate apertures 92 including a first aperture plate aperture 92a, a second aperture plate aperture 92b, a third aperture plate aperture 92c, and a fourth aperture plate aperture 92d.
  • any of the aperture plate apertures 92 could be considered the first aperture plate aperture; any could be considered the second aperture plate aperture, and so on.
  • any of the ports 40 could be considered the first port; any could be considered the second port, and so on.
  • each aperture plate aperture 92 is not associated in a one-to-one relationship with one of the ports 40.
  • the aperture plate aperture 92a controls flow through the ports 40a and 40b.
  • the aperture plate aperture 92b controls flow through the port 40d, and the aperture plate apertures 92c and 92d both control flow through the port 40c. Accordingly, there does not need to be any particular relationship between the number of aperture plate apertures 92 and the number of ports 40 engaged with the aperture plate 42.
  • Each aperture plate aperture 92 may have any suitable size and shape, which need not match the size and shape of the one or more ports 40 that the aperture plate aperture 92 permits flow through.
