Abstract
A coolant conducting system for a motor vehicle with multiple coolant circuits, comprising a coolant tank with an interior which is designed to store coolant and comprising multiple coolant channels which are designed to introduce coolant from the coolant tank into at least two coolant circuits. At least one of the coolant tanks is made of a channel wall which is at least partly arranged on an outer wall of the coolant tank and is designed to conduct coolant so as to at least partly follow the contour of the outer wall of the coolant tank.
Claims9
A coolant conducting system for a motor vehicle, the coolant conducting system comprising:
- coolant circuits;
- a coolant tank with an interior space that is configured to store a coolant;
- coolant channels that are configured to deliver the coolant from the coolant tank into the coolant circuits, at least one of the coolant channels being formed by a channel wall that is at least partly arranged on an outer wall of the coolant tank and is configured to conduct the coolant so as to follow at least parts of a contour of the outer wall of the coolant tank;
- and
- a first control valve, which is configured to control the delivery of the coolant into at least two of the coolant circuits, and is at least partially arranged in at least two of the coolant channels,
- wherein the first control valve has at least two valve sections that are each connected to a respective one of the at least two of the coolant channels which deliver the coolant from the coolant tank to the first control valve, each of the at least two valve sections of the first control valve are configured to control the delivery of coolant into a respective one of the at least two of the coolant circuits, and wherein the at least two valve sections are configured to be moved or rotated together with one another.
