1.2L REVOTRON ENGINE

4. Water Pump :

The water pump is a simple centrifugal pump

driven by belt. The pump circulates the engine

coolant when it is driven by the engine.

The water pump uses centrifugal force to send

fluid to the outside while it spins, causing fluid to

be drawn from the center continuously. The inlet

to the pump is located near the center so that fluid

returning from the radiator hits the pump vanes.

The pump vanes filling the fluid to the outside of

the pump, where it can enter the engine.

The fluid leaving the pump flows first through the

engine block and cylinder head, then into the

radiator and finally back to the pump.
