Abstract

A pump (103) for a processor cooling system through which working fluid is circulated to cool a processor, the pump (103) comprising: a processor heat exchanger (105); a casing (107) configured to be coupled to the processor heat exchanger (105), the casing (107) comprising an inlet (113) for working fluid and an outlet (115) for working fluid, the casing (107) co-operating with the processor heat exchanger (105) to define an internal pump cavity (117) in which heat exchange can occur between the processor heat exchanger (105) and working fluid as the working fluid passes from the inlet (113) to the outlet (115); a rotor (123) mounted for rotation within the internal pump cavity (117), and a motor (143, 145) operable to rotate the rotor (123) in order to drive working fluid from the inlet (113) through the internal pump cavity (117) to the outlet (115); wherein the pump (103) is configured so that, in use, the processor heat exchanger (105) lies adjacent the processor so that heat can pass from the processor to working fluid in the internal pump cavity (117) as it is driven by the rotor (123) from the inlet (113) through the internal pump cavity (117) to the outlet (115).
