They provide less load on vehicle engines, which decreases fuel consumption, improves engine-off cooling and increases fuel economy.<\/p>\n

Main Function of the Electric Water Pump<\/strong><\/p>\n

On vehicles with internal combustion engines, the primary role of an electric water pump is to maintain fluid flow in a coolant system. It also designed to keep the engine and critical components such as heater cores and radiators at safe operating temperatures.<\/p>\n

On electric and hybrid electric vehicles, EWPs keep battery packs, motors and inverters at safe temperatures. They are also used on many stop\/start vehicles to maintain interior heating comfort.<\/p>\n

While electric pumps do have several advantages, the Dayco tech team has seen a number of installation errors arise \u2013 both with main EWPs and auxiliary coolant pumps. There are three key mistakes that can occur with EWP replacement.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”35″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n
