In a vehicle, the water pump circulates coolant fluid through the cooling system. This is vital for regulating engine temperature. The fluid absorbs heat from the engine to prevent it from overheating. It’s then pumped to the radiator, where the heat is distributed and the fluid is cooled.

The cooled fluid passes to the water pump and can then be returned to the engine.  Typically, an automotive water pump is driven by a belt from a crankshaft pulley or sprocket. The pump uses centrifugal force and impeller blades (fan blades) to drive coolant through the cooling system.
