Coolant quick connector with graphene, integrated latch and integrated O-ring retainer

Abstract

A fluid quick connector incorporating graphene or graphene derivatives into engaging male and female end forms that reduces oxygen and water permeation through the coolant quick connector and includes an integrated latch that eliminates the need for a separate latch component. An integrated retainer is located within the mating interior interface of the female end form and opposing exterior interface of the male end form and, in combination with an EPDM O-ring component, provide for a fluid sealing connection between the end forms which reduces permeation of oxygen and water through the body as well as reducing coolant volume loss so as to maintain an ideal (typically 50/50) water to glycol ratio.
