The ESAB 0558009366 Kit Coolant Pump (WIC) is a specialized spare part designed for the maintenance and repair of ESAB welding cooling systems. In high-amperage welding applications, particularly TIG and heavy-duty MIG processes, the efficiency of the water cooling unit is paramount to maintaining process stability and protecting the torch assembly from thermal damage. This kit provides the necessary components to replace a failing or seized coolant pump within the cooling unit.
Failure of the coolant pump leads to immediate cessation of coolant flow, which can result in catastrophic failure of the power cable and torch head due to resistive heating. This genuine ESAB replacement ensures that the hydraulic parameters—specifically flow rate and pressure—match the original design specifications of the cooling unit. By using OEM components, operators ensure compatibility with the system's fluid dynamics and electrical connections.
The kit is engineered to withstand the specific demands of welding coolants, which often contain additives to prevent algae growth and corrosion. The materials used in the pump construction are selected for their resistance to these chemical agents as well as the thermal cycling inherent in welding operations. Installation of this kit restores the active cooling loop, allowing for sustained high-duty cycle welding without thermal interruption.
This pump kit is identified by the part number 0558009366 and is intended for specific ESAB cooling units (often designated WIC or similar series). Technicians should verify the part number against the equipment's spare parts list before installation. Proper installation involves draining the existing coolant, disconnecting the power source, and carefully replacing the pump assembly to ensure leak-free operation.
