The cold water is used to cool down the steam in the cylinder of the engine. A jet of water from the cold-water reservoir enters the cylinder at the end of the up-stroke. This creates a vacuum due to the condensation of the steam. The pressure of the air above the piston now forces it down, raising the pump rods. This allows the engine work on indefinitely.
