In order to explore the energy conversion characteristics of the hydraulic components in the coolant pump after entering idling state, numerical method was used to study the idling state of the coolant pump. Results show that with the increase of idle time, the head loss of each hydraulic flow component decrease to less than 50% after 10 s. During the idling process, the dynamic pressure head of the inlet section decrease sharply from 6.8 m to 0 m, and the static pressure head increase from -7 m to 0 m after 140 s. At the beginning of idling, the static pressure energy at the outlet of the impeller decrease slowly, which increase rapidly at the inlet. With the increase of idle time, the static pressure head of impeller decrease faster than the dynamic pressure head, the dynamic pressure energy of guide vane and impeller change in a contrary way. The dynamic pressure energy at the inlet and outlet of the volute decrease rapidly with the increase of idle time, and the static pressure energy at the inlet of the volute decrease rapidly from idling. At the beginning of idling, the dynamic pressure energy above 24.33 m is mainly distributed at the outlet of impeller, guide vane inlet and the outlet of volute; When t=110 s, the dynamic pressure energy in most areas is mainly below 12.17 m; When t=200 s, the dynamic pressure energy is mainly distributed in 0-6.08m. The distribution area of large static pressure energy in the volute decrease gradually.
