Coolant routing system with coupling device

Abstract

A coolant routing system for a vehicle having a plurality of coolant circuits, for instance an electric drive vehicle. A coolant tank stores a coolant, and a coolant manifold assembly has a plurality of coolant tubes that are each configured to form a part of one of the coolant circuits. At least one coolant pump is configured to pump the coolant into at least one coolant circuit. A coupling device is configured to introduce the coolant from the coolant tank into the coolant circuits. The coupling device is formed at least in part by a wall of the coolant tank and is coupled to both the at least one coolant pump and the coolant manifold assembly so that coolant can be exchanged between an interior of the coupling device and the at least one coolant pump and between the interior of the coupling device and the coolant manifold assembly.
