Abstract
A cooling system for an internal combustion engine comprises a tubular conduit configured to conduct coolant to and from various components of the internal combustion engine and to remove excess heat therefrom. A shield portion is fluidly coupled inline of the tubular conduit and is disposed between a heat source and a cooler operating component. The expanded portion further comprises a cooling body, an inlet in fluid communication with the tubular conduit and configured to conduct coolant into the cooling body and an outlet in fluid communication with the tubular conduit and is configured to conduct coolant out of the cooling body.

A cooling system for an internal combustion engine comprising:
- a tubular conduit configured to conduct coolant to and from various components of the internal combustion engine to remove excess heat therefrom;
- an shield portion fluidly coupled inline of the tubular conduit and disposed between a heat source and a cooler operating component, the shield portion further comprising:
- a cooling body;
- an inlet in fluid communication with the tubular conduit and configured to conduct coolant into the cooling body;
- and
- an outlet in fluid communication with the tubular conduit and configured to conduct coolant out of the cooling body.
An internal combustion engine comprising:
- a cylinder head;
- an exhaust driven turbocharger disposed adjacent to the cylinder head,
- a cooling system comprising a tubular conduit disposed between the exhaust driven turbocharger and the cylinder head and further comprising:
- an shield portion fluidly coupled inline of the tubular conduit and disposed between the exhaust driven turbocharger and the cylinder head and having a cooling body with an inlet in fluid communication with the tubular conduit and configured to conduct coolant into the cooling body and an outlet in fluid communication with the tubular conduit and configured to conduct coolant out of the cooling body.
