Vehicle temperature adjustment system
A second temperature adjustment medium branches and flows into the first branch flow path and the second branch flow path at the branching portion, the second temperature adjustment medium and the second temperature adjustment medium are merged at the merging portion and flow through the pressure feed flow path to be supplied to the first pump, and the second temperature adjustment medium circulates through the second temperature adjustment circuit. A valve device configured to adjust a flow rate of the second temperature adjustment medium flowing through the second branch flow path is provided in the second branch flow path between the branching portion and the heat exchanger. The control device is configured to control the valve device to block the second temperature adjustment medium from flowing through the second branch flow path when a failure of the heat exchanger is detected.
VEHICLE WATER HEATING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A water heating system for a vehicle includes, among other things, a container and an assembly of a vehicle. The assembly has a thermal energy level that increases as a result of operating the vehicle. The system further includes a path that communicates water back-and-forth between the container and the assembly to increase amount of thermal energy within water that is in the container, and an outlet configured to dispense water from the container for use by a user.
Hydraulic motor system for liquid transport tank
A motor for driving a liquid end of a pump system. The motor having an inner housing having an outer surface, a mechanical actuator disposed in the inner housing, and a water jacket surrounding at least a portion of the outer surface of the inner housing to define a volume between the inner housing and the water jacket. The volume being sized to circulate water within the water jacket so as to transfer heat from the inner housing to the water.

Heat exchanger
A heat exchanger includes a core and a header tank. The header tank includes a partition, a first inlet pipe, and a second inlet pipe. The partition divides an inside passage of the header tank into a first tank and a second tank. The first inlet pipe introduces a first fluid into the first tank. The second inlet pipe introduces a second fluid into the second tank. The first inlet pipe is inclined at a predetermined angle except a right angle relative to an outer surface of the header tank such that a flow direction of the first fluid flowing from the first inlet pipe to the first tank includes a component in a predetermined direction from a first end of the first tank provided with the partition to a second end of the first tank opposite to the first end.

ENGINE UNIT
An engine unit includes a cylinder, a crankshaft, a crankcase, a generator, a sensor, and a coolant passage. The crankshaft is connected to a piston in the cylinder. The crankcase accommodates the crankshaft therein. The generator includes a rotor that rotates together with the crankshaft and a stator facing the rotor. The generator generates electric power by rotation of the rotor. The sensor detects a rotation position of the rotor. The coolant passage includes an ejection port, guides a coolant to the ejection port, and ejects the coolant from the ejection port toward the sensor.
Breather device and engine
This breather device separates engine oil included in a blow-by gas. The breather device comprises a first route, an acceleration route, a branching route, and turn-back routes. The blow-by gas flows to the first route. The acceleration route is connected to a downstream side of the first route, and has a flow channel cross-sectional area smaller than that of the first route. The branching route is connected to a downstream side of the acceleration route, configured including a wall part orthogonal to the acceleration route, and branched into two routes by the wall part. The turn-back routes are connected to one route branching at the branching route, and are turned back so as to be parallel to the acceleration route and to head in the opposite direction from a progressing direction.

Coolant control valve
A fluid actuated normally closed coolant control valve. The valve comprises a valve housing, an inlet port, the inlet port configured for fluid communication with either a coolant source or a heat exchanger of a DEF tank; an outlet port configured for fluid communication with the other of the heat exchanger of a DEF tank or the coolant source; a valve chamber, a valve and an actuator configured to actuate the valve. The actuator is a fluid actuated piston. The valve is biased to a closed condition in which the flow of coolant from the inlet port to the outlet port is prevented by the valve. The valve is actuatable to an open condition in which the flow of coolant from the inlet port to the outlet port is permitted, and the valve is withdrawn from the valve chamber, wherein the flow factor for the valve is greater than 1.5.
