Dual chamber coolant reservoir
A dual chamber coolant reservoir having a single vent neck. The coolant reservoir is for an internal combustion engine cooling system wherein the reservoir housing includes a first chamber and a second chamber formed integral thereto. A vent neck includes an aperture for accessing the first chamber with either a two or three o-ring cap to maintain pressure within the first chamber. Means for venting the second chamber when coolant exceeds a predetermined pressure level and a means for venting the first and second chamber when said cap is moved from a closed position to an open position. An inline pressure relief valve and check valve providing pressure relief and air displacement.
Safety cap device for controlling pressure in radiator and method for controlling pressure using the same
A safety cap device for controlling a pressure in a radiator includes a valve seat provided with a valve receiving space in which a first communicating hole is formed. A negative pressure valve is provided movably in the first communicating hole. A seal is disposed on a receiving surface of the valve seat and disposed movably with the negative pressure valve. The seal has a second communicating hole formed at a central portion thereof. A positive pressure valve is disposed on the seal and has a third communicating hole formed at a central portion thereof. A cap covers an upper portion of the valve seat. A spring is interposed between the positive pressure valve and the cap. A fluid receiving part is in the valve seat to prevent cavitation caused when an internal fluid expands.
RADIATOR CAP
A radiator cap includes a top cover unit, an intermediate seat unit, an output valve unit, and an input valve unit. The top cover unit includes cover body, a stem, and a plurality of positioning member to be fastened to a radiator opening. A washer surrounds the stem. The intermediate seat unit includes a connecting tube and a connecting seat connected to each other. The output valve unit includes a valve seat connected to the connecting seat. The valve seat has hook portions engaged with guiding recesses of the connecting seat. A valve disc is connected to the valve seat. A first spring is disposed between the valve seat and the connecting seat. The input valve unit includes a pin rod, and a second spring to bias the pin rod to thereby abut against the valve disc so as to close a valve hole.
