Introduction
The global new‑energy vehicle aftermarket will boom in 2026. As core hardware for the Electric Water Pump, EV water pump and EV coolant pump support the Electric vehicle cooling system and undertakes critical Battery thermal management for batteries, motors and inverters. Many auto‑parts buyers suffer from inconsistent product quality, incomplete OE coverage and insufficient export certifications. KOME supplies reliable EV water pump solutions to resolve these procurement headaches for global distributors, repair shops and cross‑border sellers.
Core Fundamentals: Classification and Operating Logic of EV Water Pumps
KOME’s Two Main Categories of EV Water Pumps
KOME independently developed and mass-produced two mainstream electric vehicle coolant pump models, covering the entire new energy market segment, with clear application scenarios,
| Water Pump Model | Rated Voltage | Core Applicable Scenarios | Vehicles Supported |
| 12V Auxiliary Electric Vehicle Coolant Pump | DC 12V | Battery Small Circulation Cooling, PTC Heating Circuit | Pure Electric Passenger Vehicles, Plug-in Hybrid Sedan, Compact SUV |
| 24V Main Electric Vehicle Water Pump | DC 24V | Large Capacity Battery Pack Cooling, Commercial Vehicle Motor Cooling | Electric Buses, Light Electric Trucks, Engineering New Energy Vehicles |
The 12V auxiliary pump is small in size and low in power consumption, with the largest volume of household new energy passenger cars. The 24V high-flow main pump has a large circulation volume and strong heat exchange ability, and is specially designed for large-capacity heavy-duty commercial new energy vehicles. All the electric water pumps in the KOME series use integrated brushless DC motors, eliminating carbon brush wear and tear faults, with a continuous design service life of more than 10,000 hours.
Operating Principles for EV Cooling Systems
The entire electric vehicle cooling system relies on the electric vehicle water pump to form three independent closed-circuit loops, completing the battery thermal management in all scenarios:
- Battery hot and cold cycle circuit: the water pump drives the cooling liquid to circulate, and the battery temperature is higher than 35 ℃ when the liquid cooling is started to cool down; When the temperature is below 15 ℃, the battery is preheated with a PTC heater, and the core temperature of the cell is stabilized in the safe range of 15-35 ℃ to eliminate the risk of thermal runaway.
- Driving motor cooling circuit: continuously removes the heat generated by the motor under high-load operation to prevent power loss;
- Vehicle inverter, charging machine cooling circuit: stabilize the working temperature of electronic components, extend the service life of electronic control.
Unlike the fixed-flow mechanical water pump of traditional gasoline vehicles, the cooling liquid pump of the KOME electric vehicle receives the real-time temperature signal of the BMS battery management system of the whole vehicle and adjusts the flow rate through PWM frequency conversion and stepless regulation, taking into account both energy saving and precise temperature control.
Four Key Criteria for Distributors to Select Qualified EV Water Pumps
Raw Material and Durability Testing Standards
Qualified electric vehicle water pumps must undergo a full set of long-term durability tests. KOME performs four mandatory factory tests on each finished product before it leaves the factory:
·Continuous rotation endurance test: 10,000 hours of uninterrupted operation to verify motor stability;
·IP67 full waterproof test, suitable for humid and splashing conditions in the cabin;
·High and low temperature cycle test: Alternating aging from -40 ℃ to 125 ℃, suitable for all kinds of climates around the world;
·Coolant corrosion resistance test: Long-term immersion in ethylene glycol does not cause sealing swelling and leakage.
The core raw materials of the KOME water pump use high-temperature enameled wire, silicon carbide mechanical seal, and reinforced PA66 pump shell, which completely solve the two high-frequency faults of motor burning and water leakage in the market.
Essential Global After-Sales Qualifications
Distributors in the European and American and Southeast Asian markets must have complete qualifications as the basic threshold for customs clearance and for the platform not being taken down.
