Abstract

An integrated cooling system comprises a first cooling circuit including a first heat exchanger that cools a first cooling medium by a core portion arranged between an inlet tank and an outlet tank; a second cooling circuit including a second heat exchanger installed in the outlet tank to cool a second cooling medium by the first cooling medium, a pressure of the second cooling medium of the second heat exchanger being higher than that of the first cooling medium, in which at a power position that can secure in the first cooling circuit a minimum necessary amount of the first cooling medium for functioning the first cooling circuit, there is provided a fragile portion that is broken when applied with a pressure equal to or larger than a predetermined level thereby to permit communication between the interior and the outside of the outlet tank.

Dependent claims

An integrated cooling system characterized by having:

a first cooling circuit including a first heat exchanger that cools a first cooling medium by a core portion arranged between an inlet tank and an outlet tank;
a second cooling circuit including a second heat exchanger that is installed in either one of the inlet and outlet tanks to cool a second cooling medium by the first cooling medium, a pressure of the second cooling medium of the second heat exchanger being higher than that of the first cooling medium;
and
a communicating portion that is placed below the inlet tank or the outlet tank at a position that can secure in the first cooling circuit a minimum necessary amount of the first cooling medium, the communicating portion being able to permit a communication between an interior of either one of the inlet and outlet tanks and the outside of the same when an internal pressure of the communicating portion becomes to or larger than a predetermined pressure.
