Type: Centrifugal water pump, which is commonly used in truck diesel engines for its high efficiency and reliability in circulating coolant.
Material: The housing is often made of cast iron or aluminum alloy. The impeller is usually made of aluminum alloy or plastic, which provides a good balance between strength and weight.
Mounting: It is designed to be directly mounted on the engine block, ensuring a proper fit and alignment with the engine's cooling system.
Performance
Flow Rate: Typically in the range of 50 to 150 gallons per minute (GPM), depending on the specific requirements of the truck diesel engine.
Pressure: It can generate a pressure of around 10 to 30 pounds per square inch (PSI) to ensure effective circulation of the coolant through the engine.
Speed: The rotational speed of the water pump is synchronized with the engine speed, usually operating at speeds ranging from 1000 to 3000 revolutions per minute (RPM).
Dimensions and Weight
Dimensions: The overall dimensions of the water pump are designed to fit within the available space in the engine compartment. The diameter of the impeller is usually between 5 and 10 inches, and the length of the pump housing is around 6 to 12 inches.
Weight: It generally weighs between 5 and 15 pounds, depending on the size and material of the pump.
