What are the causes of water pump leakage?
1 Answers
Water pump leakage is caused by: 1. Improper installation of the water seal seat ring assembly during water pump installation; 2. Aging machinery, leading to wear, corrosion, and failure of internal water seal components; 3. Harsh working conditions of construction machinery, resulting in uneven wear of bakelite sealing gaskets and bushing end faces; 4. Long-term immersion of springs in water, causing rust and reduced elasticity; 5. Freezing of condensed water vapor in the cooling system, leading to cracks in the water pump body. The maintenance methods for water pumps include: 1. Regularly inspecting seals to prevent internal water ingress and motor short-circuit damage; 2. Timely replacement of lubricating oil; 3. Periodic rust removal.
