Motorcycle engine cooling system
A cooling system of an internal combustion engine of a motorcycle, which has a suction side guard (4), enables a high ratio between the open surface of the guard and its overall surface, ensuring an improved penetration of the air through the radiator and thus avoiding oversizing of the suction fan, wherein: said guard (4), having a lower edge (6), an upper edge (7), a front edge (8) and a rear edge (9) with respect to a running direction (F) of the vehicle, has a grate mesh structure extending on a plane whereby a deviation space (12) of motion of the air sucked by the fan is defined behind the guard (4); said grate mesh structure being surrounded by a rib (13) having, at the front edge (8), a lower height than that at the rear edge (9).
Closure element for closing a housing in a heat-transfer-fluid pump contained in an engine
A closure element is provided for closing a recess in a heat-transfer-fluid pump that is contained in an engine of a vehicle. In particular, in a cylinder block of the engine, the closure element including an element for guiding the flow of heat transfer fluid to an inlet of the pump.

COOLANT FILLER NECK ASSEMBLY HAVING INTEGRATED COOLANT OVERFLOW RESERVOIR
A coolant filler neck assembly for a pressurized cooling system. The coolant filler neck includes a cylinder housing defining a non-pressurized coolant overflow reservoir; an upper cap member attached to an upper region of the cylinder housing, the upper cap member including an overflow inlet port member arranged internally in the coolant overflow reservoir and a filler pipe member in fluidic communication with the overflow inlet port member and the pressurized cooling system; a first fluid overflow tube member arranged internally in the coolant overflow reservoir to extend in a longitudinal direction though a first region of the non-pressurized coolant overflow reservoir to direct overflow liquid coolant to the non-pressurized coolant overflow reservoir; and a second fluid overflow tube member arranged internally in the coolant overflow reservoir to extend in a longitudinal direction though a second region of the non-pressurized coolant overflow reservoir to direct the overflow liquid coolant from the non-pressurized coolant overflow reservoir to the ambient environment.

Equalizing reservoir with fill level sensor
The present development relates to a closure cap for an equalizing reservoir of a motor vehicle cooling arrangement. The closure cap includes a cap body and a fill level sensor arranged on the cap body. The fill level sensor enables the fill level of the coolant inside the equalizing reservoir to be measured. The cap body may be disposed removably on the equalizing reservoir and typically closes off a filling opening of the equalizing reservoir. The configuration of the fill level sensor on the cap is extremely versatile, and can be used for a very wide range of equalizing reservoirs, which in principle can be closed with the same cover.
Venting plug for engine coolant filling
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.
