Distributed cooling system for a work machine
A distributed cooling system is disclosed. The system may include a first radiator to circulate a liquid coolant through the first radiator to cool the liquid coolant, a first fan, electrically connected to the first radiator, to facilitate cooling the liquid coolant, and a first temperature sensor to obtain first temperature data concerning the liquid coolant. The system may include a second radiator to circulate an oil through the second radiator to cool the oil, a second fan, electrically connected to the second radiator, to facilitate cooling the oil, and a second temperature sensor to obtain second temperature data concerning the oil. The system may include a heat exchanger to cool the liquid coolant and the oil and a controller, electrically connected to the first fan, the first temperature sensor, the second fan, and the second temperature sensor, to control the first fan and the second fan.
Transparent radiator hose
The transparent radiator hose is configured for use with the engine cooling system of a vehicle. The transparent radiator hose diagnoses the interchange of the cooling fluid pumped through the engine cooling system with a system fluid selected from the group consisting of the engine oil, the transmission fluid, and the power steering fluid. The transparent radiator hose comprises a modified radiator hose, a plurality of tracer dyes and an ultraviolet lamp. Each tracer dye is a fluorescent compound. There is a one to one relationship between the plurality of tracer dyes and the group consisting of the engine oil, the transmission fluid, and the power steering fluid. The modified radiator hose transports the cooling fluid used to cool the combustion engine. The modified radiator hose is partially transparent such that the cooling fluid can be seen through the modified radiator hose. The ultraviolet lamp generates ultraviolet radiation.

Waste heat recovery with active coolant pressure control system
A waste heat recovery (WHR) and coolant system with active coolant pressure control includes an engine cooling system, a WHR system, and a coolant pressure control system. A coolant heat exchanger positioned along each of the engine cooling and working fluid circuits, and is structured to transfer heat from the coolant fluid to the working fluid. The coolant pressure control system includes a pressure line operatively coupled to an air brake system and to the coolant tank. A valve is coupled to the pressure line upstream of the coolant tank. A coolant pressure controller is in operative communication with each of the valve, an air pressure sensor, and a coolant temperature sensor. The coolant pressure controller is structured to determine a target coolant pressure based on a coolant temperature and control a valve position of the valve so as to cause the air pressure to approach the target coolant pressure.
