How engine cooling system worksradiator, water pump. If can or serial ttl control is not used the 6 pin dtm connector must be blocked off to prevent entry of water or dirt which will result in damage to the pump. Although not all water cooled engines use water pumps, these components are at the heart of nearly all modern water cooling systems. Secondly, understanding how a water pump functions is essential in order to independently run the water pump correctly and make sure it functions efficiently. It is recommended that you download this pdf document and assignment to.
This discussion provides guidance and criteria for the design of high lift and water booster pumping stations in potable water distribution systems. The liquid is led from one impeller to the next and at the same time, the rotation of water is reduced and the. Water pumping technology developed in parallel with the sources of power available at the time. Pumps that lift surface water and move it to a nearby treatment plant are called lowlift pumps. Position the pump lower than the water surface on the side of the pond so that the water can be drained to the pump because it is not selfpriming. The tangential component of fluid velocity at impeller blade exit is a function of the factors shown in the exit velocity triangle at figure 4 and 5. So now this hot water is circulated through a radiator circuit.
