Water Pumps for Forklift - The water pump is attached to the engine's crankshaft. It is a simple centrifugal pump which is driven by a belt that is connected to the crankshaft. Whenever the engine is running, fluid is circulated by the pimp.
Utilizing centrifugal force, the water pump sends water to the outside as it spins causing the fluid to be constantly drawn from the center of the pump. The pump inlet is placed close to the center. This particular design enables fluid coming back from the radiator to hit the pump vanes. The pump vanes are strategically placed to fling the fluid outside of the pump so it enters the engine.
The fluid firstly flows throughout the cylinder head and engine block previous to exiting the pump. Then the fluid works its way into the radiator before finally coming back to the pump.
