BMW 3: Coolant pump
The layout and function of the coolant pump have been revised and adapted to
match the cooling
concept of the B46TU/B48TU engines.

Coolant pump
- Pressure relief valve closed (pressure < 2.2 bar / 32 psi)
- Pressure relief valve opened (pressure > 2.2 bar / 32 psi)
A pressure relief valve is installed in the mechanical coolant pump housing.
In combination with the
heat management module, the pressure relief valve on the one hand ensures that
the engine operating
temperature is reached more quickly, while at the same time reducing leaks and
component damage
due to high pressure in the cooling system.
If an excess pressure of more than 2.2 bar (32 psi) builds up in the coolant
circuit, the pressure relief
valve opens and releases a bypass channel. The coolant is now exclusively
circulated in the pump
body. Once the pressure drops below 2.2 bar (32 psi), the pressure relief valve
closes and the coolant
is again routed through the coolant ducts.
