Claim 0:
1. A fluid pump comprising:
a pump element in communication with an inlet and an outlet, wherein rotation of the pump element generates an inward suction at the inlet and outward pressure at the outlet that cooperatively moves a fluid through a fluid path, the pump element having a stator and a rotor within a housing;
an accessory fluid path in communication with the inlet and the fluid path, wherein an inlet orifice directs a portion of the fluid through the accessory fluid path, the accessory fluid path having a low-restriction return path that provides a continuous flow of the fluid through the accessory fluid path and to an outlet orifice during operation of the pump element; and
a circuit board housing having a contoured portion that aligns with one side of an outer wall, the circuit board housing having a printed circuit board (PCB) with a thermistor in communication with the contoured portion of the circuit board housing and the accessory fluid path, wherein:
the inlet orifice and the contoured portion are positioned at opposing ends of the housing;
the continuous flow is directed between the contoured portion and the outlet orifice between the rotor and the outer wall;
the low-restriction return path between the contoured portion and the outlet orifice is configured to maintain a temperature of the continuous flow of the fluid within the contoured portion of the accessory fluid path to be similar to a temperature of the fluid in the fluid path.
