Thermostatically controlled multi-circuit cooling system
A cooling system includes a fan, a first fluid circuit, and a second fluid circuit. The first fluid circuit includes a first fluid, a first heat exchanger, a first exchanger bypass, and a first thermostat to selectively control flow of the first fluid between the first heat exchanger and the first exchanger bypass. The second fluid circuit is fluidly independent of the first fluid circuit. The second fluid circuit includes a second fluid separate from the first fluid, a second heat exchanger, a second exchanger bypass, and a second thermostat to selectively control flow of the second fluid between the second heat exchanger and the second exchanger bypass. The fan is positioned in proximity to the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger to cool the first fluid and the second fluid dependent upon operation of the first thermostat and the second thermostat, respectively.
Oil sump housing for outboard motor
A cooling system for an outboard motor of a marine vessel is provided. The cooling system includes an oil sump housing having an inner housing wall and an outer housing wall. The inner housing wall defines a transmission mounting cavity, and the inner housing wall and the outer housing wall defines an oil containment cavity that at least partially surrounds the transmission mounting cavity. The cooling system further includes a first sprayer nozzle and a second sprayer nozzle. Both the first sprayer nozzle and the second sprayer nozzle are coupled to the oil sump housing and configured to spray cooling fluid within the transmission mounting cavity onto an inner surface of the inner housing wall.
