A quick prime pump with two reservoirs 5, 14, one communicating with the inlet pipework 2A, 2B, and the other communicating with both the outlet pipework 18 and a part of the pump body 17. These two reservoirs supplement the held water in the inlet pipework so that the pump body can remain largely full of water and so operate at, or near, full efficiency, thus priming the pump quickly and maintaining a permanent flow of coolant to the engine. Once primed the reservoirs fill naturally from the water in the system. Preferably the pumping system is used in a ships engines cooling system. |
