Methods and systems for cooling arrangement

A system, comprising:

• an engine comprising a plurality of cylinders, each cylinder of the plurality of cylinders comprising a head coolant jacket and a block coolant jacket;
• a separator arranged in the block coolant jacket, wherein the separator blocks liquid transfer between an upper portion of the block coolant jacket and a lower portion of the block coolant jacket, the separator further comprising a plurality of orifices configured to allow coolant in the lower portion to degas and flow gases to the upper portion;
• and
• a coolant circuit comprising a coolant control module and a pump, wherein the coolant circuit further comprises a distribution chamber configured to flow coolant to the head coolant jacket and the upper portion of the block coolant jacket, and wherein the coolant control module comprises a plurality of inlets and a plurality of outlets.

A cooling arrangement for an engine, comprising:

• a head coolant jacket arranged in a cylinder head of the engine, wherein the head coolant jacket is in thermal communication with an exhaust port, an exhaust valve, an intake port, and an intake valve;
• a block coolant jacket arranged in a cylinder block of the engine, wherein the block coolant jacket comprises a separator dividing the block coolant jacket into at least an upper volume and a lower volume, wherein the separator blocks coolant in the upper volume from mixing with coolant in the lower volume, the separator further comprising a plurality of orifices configured to allow coolant in the lower portion to degas and flow gases to the upper portion;
• and
• a coolant control module configured to receive coolant from one or more of the head coolant jacket, the block coolant jacket, and a degas bottle, wherein the coolant control module comprises a plurality of inlets and a plurality of outlets.
