Abstract
A cooling system for an engine, may include a low temperature radiator; an intercooler installed to receive a coolant cooled from the low temperature radiator and restore the coolant to the low temperature radiator again after heat exchange; a water pump installed to supply the coolant to the intercooler by pumping the coolant cooled from the low temperature radiator; a motorized supercharger installed to receive the coolant from the intercooler; and a reservoir installed to store the coolant passing through the motorized supercharger and deliver the coolant to a coolant line between the low temperature radiator and the water pump.
Claims7
A cooling system for an engine, the cooling system comprising:
- a radiator;
- an intercooler connected to the radiator to receive a coolant cooled from the radiator and restore the coolant to the radiator again after heat exchange;
- a water pump connected to the intercooler to supply the coolant to the intercooler by pumping the coolant cooled from the radiator;
- a supercharger connected to the intercooler to receive a first portion of the coolant from the intercooler;
- and
- a reservoir connected to the supercharger to store the first portion of the coolant passing through the supercharger and deliver the first portion of the coolant to a coolant line connecting the radiator and the water pump,
- wherein the supercharger is installed to receive the first portion of the coolant only through the intercooler,
- wherein the first portion of the coolant passing through the supercharger is delivered to the radiator through the reservoir,
- wherein a first coolant passage connected between the supercharger and the intercooler is constructed as a first single passage connecting the intercooler and the supercharger, without a branch point for sending a portion of the coolant to other places or a merge point for receiving the coolant from outside, and
- wherein a second coolant passage connected between the reservoir and the supercharger is constructed as a second single passage connecting the supercharger and the reservoir, without a branch point for sending a portion of the coolant to other places or a merge point for receiving the coolant from outside.
