Engine System With Thermostat Arrangement For Controlling Coolant Flow Through A Bypass Circuit

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an engine system comprising an engine, a primary coolant circuit and a thermostat arrangement. A main coolant circuit extends between the engine and a heat exchanger for circulating coolant therebetween. A main bypass circuit directs coolant through the engine whilst bypassing the heat exchanger. The thermostat arrangement is mounted in the primary coolant circuit for controlling coolant flow through the main bypass circuit. The thermostat arrangement is configurable between a first state for enabling coolant flow through the main coolant circuit and through the main bypass circuit and a second state for enabling coolant flow through the main coolant circuit and blocking coolant flow through the main bypass circuit.
