Exhaust coolant system and method
A system includes an engine defining a water jacket fluidly coupled to a heat exchanger. An exhaust manifold defines an exhaust manifold cooling passage. A pump is fluidly coupled to the water jacket, and to each of the heat exchanger and the exhaust manifold cooling passage. An engine cooling circuit includes the water jacket, the heat exchanger, and the pump. An exhaust cooling circuit is selectively fluidly coupled to the engine cooling circuit. The exhaust cooling circuit includes the water jacket, the exhaust manifold cooling passage, and the pump. A control valve includes an inlet fluidly coupled to a first portion of the water jacket. A first outlet is fluidly coupled to a second portion of the water jacket. A second outlet is fluidly coupled to the exhaust cooling circuit. The control valve is structured to selectively control flow of coolant fluid through the second outlet.

Cooling system and a cooling arrangement for a motor vehicle
A cooling system for a motor vehicle may include a first circuit, a second circuit, a first heat exchanger incorporated in the first circuit, and a second heat exchanger incorporated in the second circuit. The first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger may be flowed through by ambient air and a coolant. The first heat exchanger may be arranged, relative to an airflow direction, in front of and directly adjacent to the second heat exchanger. The first circuit and the second circuit may be fluidically connected to one another at an upstream distribution point and at a downstream collection point such that a part mass flow of the coolant is flowable from the second circuit into the first circuit at the distribution point, from the first circuit into the first heat exchanger, and out of the first heat exchanger back into the second circuit at the collection point.

Deaeration valve
A deaeration valve includes a housing and a ball in fluid communication with housing. The ball can include a body, a seat defining a bleed passage therein, and a deaeration pin slidably disposed within the bleed passage. Further, the deaeration pin may include a head, a retention feature, and a shaft positioned between the head and the retention feature.

Engine cooling system
An engine cooling system is provided, which includes a water jacket through which coolant flows, a heat exchanger that cools the coolant, a first bypass passage that bypasses the heat exchanger and recirculates the coolant to the water jacket, a radiator passage that recirculates the coolant to the water jacket via the heat exchanger, and a flow control device that is installed at a location where a coolant passage branches into the first bypass passage and the radiator passage and performs a water flow control to adjust a coolant amount flowing into the water jacket by adjusting a coolant amount flowing through the first bypass passage. A thermally-actuated valve connected with the radiator passage via a second bypass passage is provided to the first bypass passage, and when this valve opens, the coolant flowing through the first bypass passage flows into the radiator passage through the second bypass passage.
VALVE DEVICE
A housing has a housing main body and an outlet port. The housing main body includes a cylindrical housing inner wall that defines an internal space therein. The outlet port fluidly connects the internal space and an outside of the housing main body to each other. The valve has a valve body rotatable about an rotation axis along a rotation axis of the cylindrical housing inner wall. The valve is configured to selectively open and close the outlet port depending on a rotation position of the valve. The housing inner wall is formed such that a distance between the housing inner wall and the axis of the housing inner wall varies in a circumferential direction.
