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.

Auxiliary Water Pump

The product selection from Pierburg Pump Technology covers the complete range of applications for electric water circulation and coolant pumps in the automotive industry. Pierburg has extensive experience in the area of electric water pumps, especially with regard to EC engine technology and hydraulics. The canned motor concept was selected to meet the high requirements for operational reliability and service life. This special motor design has an additional tube placed in the space between the stator and the rotor, which keeps the stator statically sealed with respect to the medium pumped by the running rotor. Since this drive system requires no dynamic sealing elements which are subject to wear (rotating mechanical seals), the water circulation and coolant pumps are especially reliable and free of wear problems. Moreover, the EC motor used in the pumps requires no brushes. 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
• Reduction in noise
• Leak-proof sealing of the drive
• Fuel savings and reduced emissions
• Cooling even without operation of the engine
• Water circulation pump can deliver as much as 800 liters per hour
• Coolant pump can deliver more than 9,000 liters per hour
