Here's how it works:
* The water pump is driven by the engine's crankshaft. This means that whenever the engine is running, the water pump is also turning.
* The water pump has an impeller, which is a rotating blade. The impeller spins within a housing, creating a pressure difference that forces the coolant to move through the engine's cooling system.
* Coolant flows through a network of hoses and passages. These passages are strategically designed to carry the coolant through the engine block, cylinder head, and radiator.
* As the coolant circulates, it absorbs heat from the engine. This heat is then transferred to the radiator, where it is dissipated into the air.
The water pump is a crucial component of the engine's cooling system. Without it, the engine would overheat and potentially be damaged.
