What are the functions of water pump assembly?
07-31,2023
Water pump assembly refers to the combination of a water pump and other relevant components in an automotive engine cooling system. It mainly consists of water pump body, water pump bearing, seals, fan wheel, and transmission pulley.
Functions of water pump assembly:
1. Cool the engine: The water pump cools the engine by providing circulating coolant to ensure normal engine operation. It draws coolant from the coolant tank and feeds it into the engine cooling system, so that heat generated by the engine can be absorbed and taken away.
2. Maintain pressure in the cooling system: The seals of the water pump assembly are used to seal the coolant and maintain adequate cooling system pressure, thus helping prevent coolant leakage and engine overheat.
3. Drive the fan: The fan wheel of the water pump assembly is connected to the engine fan, and is driven by rotation of the water pump. It increases air flow and improves heat dissipation.
Please note that a water pump assembly should be maintained and replaced according to recommendations and instructions of the vehicle manufacturer. The coolant level and condition of the water pump assembly should be inspected regularly, and signs of leakage or abnormal noise should also be checked.

Advantages of vika water pump:
Water pump body: As the base of the water pump, this part adopts an enclosure made of the same powdered resin as that used in OE parts. In order to meet demand from more customers, vika also offers enclosures made of other materials such as iron casting and cold-rolled steel sheet.
Water seal: The water seal is also identical to corresponding OE part, providing good sealing effect and high load bearing capacity;
Bearing: The product of C&U, a domestic water pump bearing OEM, is used. It is characterized by higher bear loading capacity and better heat dissipation, with a warranty covering 80000 km of mileage;
Impeller and belt pulley: In the vika impeller design, maximum water pump flow is achieved by controlling the number of impeller blades and their opening angle, thus cooling the engine effectively. A wide range of impeller and belt pully materials and forms are made available to customers.
Thermostat: vika products adopt thermostats from Temb. They provide the same level of reliability as OE products.
