Abstract
The present invention relates to a coolant circulation circuit for an engine, which includes a first coolant line through which coolant heated in an engine and circulated in a radiator passes, a second coolant line through which coolant heated in the engine and circulated in additional elements passes, a bypass coolant line through which coolant heated in the engine passes, a coolant outlet where the coolant flows into the engine, a first chamber where the coolant having passed through the bypass coolant line flows in, a second chamber where the coolant having passed through the second coolant line flows in, a partition formed between the first chamber and the second chamber and a thermostat selectively blocking the first chamber from the second chamber.
Claims17
A coolant circulation circuit for an engine comprising:
- a first coolant line through which coolant heated in an engine and circulated in a radiator passes;
- a second coolant line through which coolant heated in the engine and circulated in an additional element passes;
- a bypass coolant line through which a portion of coolant heated in the engine passes;
- a first chamber where the coolant having passed through the bypass coolant line flows in;
- a second chamber where the coolant having passed through the second coolant line flows in;
- a coolant outlet where the coolant flows back into the engine;
- a partition formed between the first chamber and the second chamber;
- and
- a thermostat selectively blocking the first chamber from the second chamber.
A coolant circulation circuit for an engine comprising:
- a coolant circulation control apparatus comprising a thermostat;
- a first output line fluidly connecting an engine and a radiator;
- a second output line fluidly connecting the first output line and additional element;
- a first coolant line through which coolant heated in the engine and circulated in the radiator through the first output line flows out;
- a second coolant line through which coolant heated in the engine and circulated in the additional element through the second output line flows out and directly flows back into to the engine through the coolant circulation control apparatus;
- a bypass coolant line that branches from the first output line and through which a portion of coolant heated in the engine flows into the coolant circulation control apparatus;
- and
- a coolant outlet formed at the coolant circulation control, through which coolant flown into the coolant circulation control apparatus through the second coolant line and the first coolant line or bypass coolant line flows into the engine;
- wherein the coolant circulation control apparatus selectively connects the first coolant line or bypass coolant line with the coolant outlet.
A coolant circulation circuit system for an engine comprising:
- a coolant circulation control apparatus including a thermostat;
- a first output line fluidly connecting an engine and a radiator;
- a second output line fluidly connecting the first output line and additional element;
- a first coolant line through which coolant heated in the engine and circulated in the radiator through the first output line flows out;
- a second coolant line through which coolant heated in the engine and circulated in the additional element through the second output line flows out and directly flows back into to the engine through the coolant circulation control apparatus;
- a bypass coolant line that branches from the first output line and through which a portion of coolant heated in the engine flows into the coolant circulation control apparatus;
- and
- a coolant outlet formed at the coolant circulation control, through which coolant flown into the coolant circulation control apparatus through the second coolant line and the first coolant line or bypass coolant line flows into the engine;
- wherein the coolant circulation control apparatus selectively connects the first coolant line or bypass coolant line with the coolant outlet.
