In theory, yes, but the efficiency will decrease and it may damage the pump. This will lead to reduced flow rate, increased stress on components, and engine overload. Please select a pump with a suitable rated head.
It will restrict flow, increase pressure loss, and reduce output. The pump may overheat, fuel consumption may rise, and issues like erosion and cavitation can occur.
The engine power should be sufficient to overcome the resistance of the water pump under the set flow rate and head. Refer to the power requirement curve provided by the manufacturer, while also taking into account the transmission system losses and the engine's load performance.
Check the fuel and oil levels, prime the pump to expel air, and connect the pipelines. Start the engine, let it idle before increasing speed, while monitoring pressure and flow.
It should be performed before and after each use. Check the fuel, engine oil, water source, and pipelines, and clean the water pump and engine after operation.
