Patent number: 10914305Abstract: A fluid pump includes a pump element in communication with an inlet and an outlet. Rotation of the pump element generates a suction at the inlet and pressure at the outlet. The suction and pressure cooperate to move a fluid through a fluid path. An accessory fluid path is in communication with the inlet and outlet. The accessory fluid path includes a thermistor in communication with the accessory fluid path. The thermistor monitors a temperature of the fluid within the accessory fluid path.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2017Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: GHSP, Inc.Inventors: Ryan David Rosinski, Bradley John Vecellio
