A cooling system including a first coolant line and a second coolant line, at least one first component to be cooled, into which the first coolant line opens, and a first ventilation line. The first ventilation line is fluidically connected to the at least one first component and is configured for ventilating the at least one first component. The first ventilation line opens into the second coolant line.

A venting plug assembly for sealing a coolant channel and venting air therefrom is disclosed. The coolant channel defines an open portion to receive the venting plug assembly. The venting plug assembly includes an outer sealing element with an annular portion configured for sealing engagement with the open portion of the coolant channel. The venting assembly further includes an inner sealing element configured for sealing engagement with the annular portion of the outer sealing element. The inner sealing element is configured to move relative to the annular portion of the outer sealing element to allow air to vent from the coolant channel through the outer sealing element.

In the present invention, a package is partitioned into upper and lower sections. An engine and a generator are both disposed in the lower section. In the upper section are disposed: a radiator chamber in which a radiator and a radiator fan are disposed, and an intake chamber in which an intake silencer is disposed. A ventilation hole directly communicates the radiator chamber with an engine chamber in which the engine and the generator are disposed. The ventilation hole is displaced from the radiator fan in a long-side direction (X) of the package. A ventilation hood covers above and around the ventilation hole. An outlet opening of the ventilation food is formed being displaced in a short-side direction (Y) of the package to face the ventilation hole.

To ventilate a heat management system of an internal combustion engine, in which coolants circulate in several coolant circuits, connected inlets of a rotary valve may be opened and closed in a predetermined sequence, in order to ventilate one or more of the coolant circuits in the direction of the compensation tank, by means of at least one ventilation circuit which is in fluid connection with a coolant compensation tank. The rotary valve may be controlled by means of a control unit, wherein a non-connected inlet of the rotary valve is in fluid connection with the coolant compensation tank.

A reservoir tank assembly and a heat pump system including the same are disclosed. The reservoir tank assembly may include a reservoir tank configured to remove air contained in a coolant and an adapter fluidly connecting the reservoir tank and a coolant line along which the coolant flows. A part of the coolant flowing along the coolant line is introduced into any one degassing chamber among a plurality of degassing chambers through the adapter. The coolant passing through the plurality of degassing chambers is discharged to the coolant line through the adapter.

Methods and apparatus are provided for pressurizing a liquid cooling system including a pressurized air source configured to supply compressed air and a surge tank for storing a liquid coolant and for pressurizing an interior volume of the surge tank such that a coolant pressure is maintained at the desired operating pressure.
