RESERVOIR TANK
The reservoir tank includes: a tank body that stores cooling fluid; an inflow pipe for feeding the cooling fluid into the tank body; and a discharge pipe for discharging the cooling fluid from the tank body, in which the tank body has at least one tank chamber, a discharge port is provided in a bottom surface of the tank chamber or at a position adjacent to the bottom surface, the discharge pipe is connected to the discharge port, and a shield is disposed above the discharge port so as to cover the discharge port in a plan view.
Cooling system and vehicle comprising such a cooling system
Disclosed is a cooling system comprising: a first cooling circuit with a first coolant pump; a second cooling circuit with a second coolant pump; an expansion tank provided with an expansion chamber for accumulation of coolant, wherein the expansion chamber is connected to the second cooling circuit to allow the expansion chamber to receive coolant from the second cooling circuit; and a deaeration device arranged in the first cooling circuit for separation of air bubbles from the coolant circulating therein. The deaeration device is located at a lower position than the expansion tank and connected to said expansion chamber via a static line to allow air bubbles separated from the coolant in the deaeration device to migrate upwards in the static line towards the expansion chamber.
RESERVOIR TANK FOR VEHICLE
A reservoir tank includes first and second chambers separated by partitions. The first chamber is configured such that coolant circulates through the first chamber. The second chamber is provided on a side and spaced apart from the first chamber and is configured such that coolant having a different temperature from the coolant stored in the first chamber circulates through the second chamber. A first partition and a second partition are provided so as to separate the first chamber and the second chamber from each other, and are spaced apart from and facing each other. A middle chamber is defined in a space between the first partition and the second partition and configured such that the coolant from the first chamber or the second chamber circulates through the middle chamber, thereby providing a heat buffer between the first chamber and the second chamber.
INTEGRATED HOUSING AND WATER SUPPLY MODULE INCLUDING SAME
The present disclosure relates to an integrated housing capable of integrally connecting several components of a water supply module, and the water supply module including same. According to the present disclosure, hoses or pipes are removed or a pipe length is reduced through the integration of components constituting a cooling system, and thus a reduction in size and weight can be promoted.
DEAERATION DEVICES FOR ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
This disclosure details thermal management systems with two or more cooling loops for thermally managing multiple components of an electrified vehicle. An exemplary thermal management system may include a deaeration device that is fluidly connected to two or more cooling loops (e.g., a traction battery pack loop, a power electronics loop, etc.). The deaeration device is configured to allow for deaeration of the two or more cooling loops while reducing coolant transfer and heat transfer between the two or more cooling loops.
Reservoir tank
This reservoir tank has a tank body, an inflow pipe, a discharge pipe, and a filler port of cooling fluid in the tank body. The tank body has a first chamber and a second chamber, the filler port is provided to fill the second chamber with the cooling fluid, and an upper limit mark and a lower limit mark are displayed on the tank body. The first chamber and the second chamber communicate with each other through a lower communication path at a portion lower than the lower limit mark. Further, the upper communication path communicates a portion of the first chamber higher than the upper limit mark and a portion of the second chamber below the upper limit mark.
RADIATOR FILLER NECK
A radiator filler neck for use with a radiator includes a core between upper and lower tanks and a pressure-valve radiator cap. The filler neck includes a hollow cylindrical body including a side wall between upper and lower openings. The upper opening includes an upper sealing seat for the radiator cap. The lower opening includes an internal sealing seat for the pressure valve of the radiator cap. The body has an interior within the side wall and between the upper and lower openings. An overflow aperture is provided in the interior of the body to permit transfer of overflow from the interior via an overflow passage to a concealed exterior overflow outlet; and the side wall does not include a visible exterior overflow outlet.
Integrated type reservoir for vehicle
A reservoir for a vehicle is provided. The reservoir is accommodated in a body formed by joining an upper case and a lower case to each other. A high-pressure reservoir space introduces and discharges coolant flowing from a high pressure cooling line and a low-pressure reservoir space introduces and discharges coolant flowing from a low pressure cooling line. A valve is also installed to maintain internal pressure of the high-pressure reservoir space and the low-pressure reservoir space constant.
Heat management system
A heat management system includes a reservoir tank which stores a coolant and can replenish, with the coolant, a coolant line connected to the reservoir tank; a flow path transition valve which is connected to the downstream side, according to the flow direction of the coolant, of the reservoir tank and can control the flow direction of the coolant; and a coolant circulation pump which is connected to the downstream side, according to the flow direction of the coolant, of the flow path transition valve and pumps the coolant along the coolant line, wherein, through the layout structure of the reservoir tank, flow path transition valve, and coolant circulation pump, the distance between parts constituting a coolant system of a vehicle is minimized, and the overall flow of the coolant is formed in the direction of gravity, and, thereby, a pressure drop of the coolant can be reduced.
TANK USED IN ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM, ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM, AND WORK MACHINE
The invention relates to a tank used in an engine cooling system, the engine cooling system, and a work machine. The tank includes a housing and a partition which dividing the housing into an exhaust tank and an expansion tank which are sealed from each other. The exhaust tank includes a first connecting pipe and a second connecting pipe, the first connecting pipe being adapted to be fluidly connected to an engine cylinder jacket of the engine cooling system to introduce coolant into the exhaust tank, and the second connecting pipe being adapted to be fluidly connected to a heat exchanger of the engine cooling system to discharge the coolant into the heat exchanger. The expansion tank includes a third connecting pipe adapted to be fluidly connected to the engine cooling system. The tank further includes a guiding tube having a first end in communication with the exhaust tank, and a second end arranged in the expansion tank, so that gas contained in the coolant flowing through the exhaust tank is exported into the expansion tank through the guiding tube. The exhaust tank enables the gas in the coolant to be separated before entering the heat exchanger, and the thermal stress impact to the heat exchanger is reduced.
