1, The automotive water pump is a simple centrifugal pump that is driven by a belt connected to the engine’s crankshaft. The pump circulates the fluid when the engine is running. The water pump is vital to the operation of a car engine as it ensures that coolant flows through the cylinder head, radiator, hoses, and cylinder block and maintains the optimum automotive operating temperature; it is usually driven by a belt from a crankshaft pulley or sprocket.
2, An automotive water pump uses centrifugal force and impeller blades to move coolantthrough the various hoses and channels that make up the cooling system. After the coolant flows around the engine, usually at the front of the car, it is hosed to the radiator, where the hot coolant is cooled by air movement along with the radiator fins. It then leaves the radiator and returns to the water pump, where the process starts over.
3, In order to know water pumps in detail, it is essential to know how to differentiate between the different types that exist. On the one hand, it is possible to differentiate between water pumps for trucks/industrial vehicles and passenger cars, each one adapting to the specificities of each vehicle. While, on the other hand, they can be after market dieselegorized as follows:
4, Mechanical water pumps, In mechanical water pumps, the coolant absorbs heat from the engine block and cylinder head and releases it to the ambient air through the radiator. Depending on the type of construction, mechanical water pumps can be seated in the pump housing itself on the outside of the engine, or they can be seated directly on the engine block. Generally, mechanical water pumps are driven by V-belts, timing belts, or directly from the engine.
5, Variable water pumps,The main peculiarity of variable water pumps is that they allow the flow rate to be varied depending on the needs of the engine, this is done through a vacuum process. That is, the water pump acts on the cooling system only when necessary. In this way, it helps to increase the efficiency of the engine, which translates into lower fuel consumption and, therefore, a significant reduction in pollutant emissions into the atmosphere.
