The water pump in the car and what is its role
The water pump in the car is the important component of the water flow inside the engine towards the radiator or water cooler. The function of the water pump or water pump is to circulate and push water through the engine cooling system. The pump is installed at the front of the engine. managed,
In most cars, a belt is attached to the crankshaft. As the crankshaft rotates, the fan belt drives the pump that drives the coolant and causes it to circulate through the water jackets in the engine body, cylinder head, intake manifold, coils, and radiator.
The water pump consists of the following main parts:
The pump fan (a disk with a group of blades installed, with its rotation, the water is compressed and the flow is generated)
Pump shaft (a steel shaft that transmits torque from the hub to the impeller)
Water pump seal (prevents coolant from leaking between the pump shaft and the body)
Water pump bearing (allows the pump shaft to rotate freely inside the body)
Pump hub (The pump is provided with a means for mounting the pump belt pulley and cooling fan)
Water pump (iron or cast aluminum forms the main body of the pump)
Car water pump parts
The water pump is usually mounted at the front of the engine, and on some cross-mounted engines, the pump is mounted at the side of the engine and extends toward the front of the engine. A seal (gasket) is installed between the pump and the engine body to prevent leakage of coolant.
Evidence of a malfunction in the car's water pump
To ensure that the water pump works well and does not have any defects, you can check the pump in the following ways: Examine the pump and its surroundings for the presence of water droplets or evidence indicating a possible leak, and it can be confirmed that there is no squeaking sound.
When the engine is running, this sound indicates a problem with the water pump engine. The reason for this sound is that the belts connected to the water pump have stopped spinning, and thus not working properly.
