Flow control device for a cooling system
Methods and systems are provided for a flow controller for an engine cooling system is provided. The flow controller comprises a chamber for receiving coolant flowing through the engine cooling system; a first aperture for coolant to flow into or out of the chamber; a first valve for controlling the flow of coolant through the first aperture according to a pressure of the coolant to flow through the first aperture; a second outlet for coolant to flow into or out of the chamber; and a second valve for controlling the flow of coolant through the second outlet according to the pressure of the coolant to flow through the second aperture, wherein the first and second apertures are inlets, for coolant to flow into the chamber though the first and second apertures, or the first and second apertures are outlets, for coolant to flow out of the chamber though the first and second apertures.

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to an open condition in which the flow of coolant from the inlet port to the outlet port is permitted, and the valve is withdrawn from the valve chamber, wherein the flow factor for the valve is greater than 1.5.

Cooling device for power source for ship propulsion device
The cooling device for a power source for a ship propulsion device that pumps up cooling water, from which foreign matters with sizes that cause clogging of a cooling water route have been removed, supplies the cooling water to a cooling water passage (30), and discharges the cooling water to outside after cooling a power source (10) includes: a cartridge-type filtration device (40, 73) that is provided at a midpoint of a first water passage (36, 71) in the cooling water route and incorporates a filter (45, 46) for filtrating foreign matters remaining in the cooling water; and a second water passage (38, 72) that is branched from the first water passage and adapted such that a valve member (53) is opened to cause the cooling water to flow in a case in which clogging occurs in the filter.
