Engine pulleys serve the following functions: providing power source, enabling coolant circulation, supplementing electrical power, reducing cabin temperature, and adjusting tension. Crankshaft Pulley: Acts as the power source, with belt rotation driven by this pulley. Water Pump Pulley: Rotates to circulate coolant within the engine. Alternator Pulley: Rotates to drive the alternator, providing supplementary electrical power to the vehicle. Compressor Pulley: Rotates to operate the compressor, supplying low-temperature refrigerant to the air conditioning system to reduce cabin temperature. Tensioner Pulley: Ensures the belt operates with proper tension.
