    摘要: An electric coolant pump is used as an auxiliary water pump in a vehicle. The pump includes radial mounting of the shaft (4) is provided by means of a coolant-lubricated radial sliding bearing (41) arranged between the pump impeller (2) and the rotor (32). A dry-running electric motor (3) with a radially inner stator (31) and a radially outer rotor (32) is accommodated in a motor chamber (13) separated from the pump chamber (10). A shaft seal (5) is between the radial sliding bearing (41) and the motor chamber (13). The rotor (32) is bell-shaped with an inner surface facing the shaft seal (5) and being fixed to the shaft seal (5) to axially overlap with the shaft (4). The motor chamber (13) has an opening to the atmosphere, which is closed by a liquid-tight pressure equalization membrane (6) that is permeable to vapor.
