A thermal management assembly includes a first pump group and a second pump group connected by an auxiliary duct, a first inlet and a second inlet respectively connected to the first and second pump groups, a first outlet, a second outlet and a third outlet, and a fluidic command device fluidically connected to the first and the second pump groups and to the auxiliary duct. The fluidic command device is configurable in a first configuration in which flow of working fluid is regulated through the first and second outlets, preventing flow through the third outlet and the auxiliary duct, a second configuration in which flow of working fluid is regulated through the third outlet, preventing flow through the auxiliary duct, and a third configuration in which flow of working fluid is regulated through the auxiliary duct and flow of working fluid exiting through the second outlet is also regulated.

A thermal management assembly includes a fluidic command device connected to a first and second pump group and having four inlet and outlet ports and an auxiliary duct connecting the pump groups. The fluidic command device is configurable in a first configuration, in which working fluid flows into the first inlet port and out of the first outlet port, flowing into the first pump group, the auxiliary duct and the second pump group, a second configuration, in which working fluid flows into the second inlet port and out of the second outlet port, flowing in the pump groups, preventing flow in the auxiliary duct, and a third configuration, in which working fluid flows into the third inlet port and out of the third outlet port, flowing into the first pump group, and into the fourth inlet port and out of the fourth outlet port, flowing into the second pump group.

A pump group for a cooling system of an engine of a vehicle, of the dual type is provided. The pump group includes an impeller mounted on a shaft commandable in rotation by an electric drive and a mechanical drive. The mechanical drive includes a rotating member commandable in rotation by mechanical movement devices in the vehicle, a rotary drum operatively connected to the shaft, a centrifugal clutch device including a central body integrally attached to the rotating member and a plurality of engagement elements movably fixed on the central body suitable to translate in a radial direction with respect to the axis (X-X) to engage the rotary drum.
