Claim 12:
13. A fluid pump comprising:
a pump element in communication with a fluid path, the pump element including a rotor and a stator within a housing; and
an inlet orifice in communication with the pump element, wherein the pump element and the inlet orifice direct a primary flow of a fluid to an outlet and an excess flow of the fluid into an accessory fluid path having a portion that extends between the rotor and an outer wall of the housing, and
a circuit board housing having a contoured portion that aligns with one side of the outer wall; wherein
the accessory fluid path includes a low-restriction return path that moves the excess flow of the fluid as a continuous flow through the accessory fluid path and toward an outlet orifice;
the low-restriction return path is configured to maintain a temperature of the excess flow of the fluid in the contoured portion of the accessory fluid path to be similar to a temperature of the primary flow of the fluid; and
a thermistor is positioned in communication with the contoured portion to simultaneously monitor, in real time, the temperature of the excess flow of the fluid in the accessory fluid path and the temperature of the primary flow of the fluid in the fluid path.
