The inlet line for the coolant is configured as a separate structural unit from the tank top piece, having an outlet opening situated in the region of the tank bottom piece.

A cooling system includes a first cooling loop, a second cooling loop and a heat exchanger configured to transfer heat from the first cooling loop to the second cooling loop. The first cooling loop includes a flow restrictor, an inertial separator, and a pressure relief valve cooperating to effect diversion of vapor present in the first cooling loop due to a leak between the first cooling loop and the second cooling loop.

In general, one aspect disclosed features an in-davit run kit for a lifeboat, the kit comprising: a water container comprising a first connector; a hose configured to connect with the first connector; and a second connector configured to connect to the hose, wherein the second connector is in fluid communication with a water cooling system of the lifeboat; wherein the in-davit run kit allows a water pump of the lifeboat to draw water from the water container into the water cooling system of the lifeboat.

A motor for driving a liquid end of a pump system. The motor having an inner housing having an outer surface, a mechanical actuator disposed in the inner housing, and a water jacket surrounding at least a portion of the outer surface of the inner housing to define a volume between the inner housing and the water jacket. The volume being sized to circulate water within the water jacket so as to transfer heat from the inner housing to the water.

An apparatus and methods are provided for removing trapped air from a cooling system of an internal combustion engine. The apparatus includes an air bleed valve configured to allow the trapped air to be vented from a water jacket comprising an engine cylinder head. The air bleed valve is coupled with a hollow portion disposed at a top of the cylinder head. A topmost chamber within the hollow portion is in fluid communication with the water jacket. The water jacket includes angled upper walls near the hollow portion configured to direct the trapped air into the topmost chamber. An air bleed line is coupled with the air bleed valve and configured to direct the trapped air out of the topmost chamber to a suitable coolant reservoir.

The invention relates to a vortex degassing device (1) for a fluid transfer circuit (F1, F2), in particular of a motor vehicle, this device (1) comprising: a first internal chamber (10) connected to a first inlet (11) for a fluid (F1) as well as to a first outlet (12) for a liquid fraction and to a second outlet (13) for a gaseous fraction, a second internal chamber (20) connected to a second inlet (21) for a fluid (F2) as well as to a third outlet (22) for a liquid fraction and to a fourth outlet (23) for a gaseous fraction,

A system for draining a cooling system of a power generation system on a marine vessel includes a pump in fluid communication with the cooling system, the pump actively removing cooling water from the cooling system. An outlet drain discharges the cooling water. A controller starts the pump in response to an operator command to stop a prime mover of the marine power generation system and/or a speed of the prime mover being below a threshold speed. In one example, a temperature sensor determines a temperature of the cooling water in the cooling system, and the controller stops the pump in response to the temperature of the cooling water exceeding a threshold temperature. In another example, a sensor determines a pressure and/or a level of the cooling water in the cooling system, and the controller stops the pump in response to the pressure and/or the level of the cooling water dropping below a threshold pressure or a threshold level, respectively.
