1997 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Engine Cooling Parts

CARQUEST premium engine management products provide the right products for a wide range of domestic and import applications. Delivering the highest performance and durability under demanding conditions.

The Graf Water Pump contains no remanufactured parts and is produced using an optimized all metal impeller design to assist in cooling under high RPM, and performance demands. Selection of raw materials, reliability of machinery and production processes, stringent controls throughout the production process, from melting to fitting, as well as reliability tests performed using equipment able to determine true performance, go to ensure this product is a real guarantee of safety and long life. The Graf water pump is centrifugal in type and comprises a bladed rotor linked by means of a shaft (which rotates on bearings housed in a support) to the drive gear; the seal between the pump and the motor block is guaranteed by a gasket, while the inside of the pump is guaranteed by a mechanical seal. Component parts: Impeller: supplies the fluid with the necessary energy to cover the entire cooling circuit. Mechanical seal: ensures fluid seal inside the pump. Bearing: transmits movement to the impeller and supports any ventilation parts. Entrainment part: for transmitting movement to the bearing. Pump body: supports the basic pump component parts and conveys the coolant in the motor block.

Product Features:

• All the component parts fitted are pre-tested to evaluate durability, performance and reliability.
• The bearings undergo a durability test equivalent to nominal lifespan and are then inspected to assess integrity.
• The mechanical seals are tested in extreme coolant temperature conditions according to predefined cycles.
• The shape of the impellers is optimized thanks to the use of prototypes on which flow and performance tests are performed.
• On both the entrainment parts and the bodies, the choice of materials and/or technologies different to original ones is made on the basis of structural and mechanical tests.
• After assembly all the pumps undergo seal tests on units that reject those with leaks above set limits.

Restore your vehicle’s cooling system to proper working order, and minimize the risk of premature failure, by installing a Bosch Auxiliary Water Pump. Bosch Auxiliary Water Pumps are designed to operate in the highly-stressful environment of today’s cooling systems. Eliminating the mechanical commutation system leaves the durability of the rotor bearings as practically the only limiting factor for service life. In addition to that, the lower number of moving parts results in significantly reduced noise.

Product Features:

• OE Quality, reliability and service life
• Leak-proof sealing of the drive
• Fuel savings and reduced emissions
• Cooling even without operation of the engine
• CO²-reduction by optimized efficiency, speed control and reduced weight
• Coverage of a wide hydraulic performance range
• Reduced noise level

The Visco® clutch has the task of making the frictional connection to the fan wheel depending on the temperature, and influencing its speed. The drive torque is transferred by means of wear-free viscous friction to the fan wheel, the continuously variable speed of which is set on the basis of the operating conditions. In the case of the electrically-driven Visco® clutch, control takes place directly via sensors. Requirement-based cooling optimizes the coolant temperature, engine noise and fuel consumption.
