A heat exchange assembly for use in combination with motor driven fluid pumps and the like, such as a motor, is provided. The assembly comprises a suction manifold, a discharge/diverter manifold, and a heat exchange jacket. The heat exchange jacket is maintained in close contact with the exterior surface of the motor, so that waste heat is transferred to the jacket thereby heating the fluid therein.

A heat exchanger for use in combination with motor driven fluid pumps, said heat exchanger comprising: a heat exchange jacket including a hollow enclosed cavity for maintaining heat exchange contact between said pump motor and a fluid within said cavity, said jacket configured to closely conform to and engage the exterior surface of said pump motor; fluid inlet means including a discharge/diverter manifold operatively connected to the pump discharge port and to said jacket to divert a portion of the fluid discharged by the pump into said cavity; fluid outlet means including a suction manifold having a section of conduit connected to the pump intake port and a pair of tubular extensions each having one end within said conduit in contact with the fluid flowing therethrough and their opposite ends connected in fluid communication to said jacket cavity to draw fluid from said cavity by negative pressure at the pump intake port and recirculate it through the pump; and flow path means within said cavity for directing the flow of fluids within said cavity through a circuitous path from said fluid inlet means to said fluid outlet means.
