Forklift Water Pump - Connected to the engine's crankshaft; the water pump is a basic centrifugal pump that is driven by a belt. The pump then circulates fluid if the engine is running.
Making use of centrifugal force, the water pump sends water to the outside as it rotates causing the fluid to be continually drawn from the center of the pump. The pump inlet is situated near the center. This particular design enables fluid returning from the radiator to hit the pump vanes. The pump vanes are strategically located to be able to fling the fluid outside of the pump so it goes in the engine.
The fluid that is exiting the pump firstly flows throughout the cylinder head and engine block. Then the fluid goes into the radiator and finally circulates back to the pump.
