Abstract

A cooling system for an internal combustion engine comprises a tubular conduit configured to conduct coolant to and from various components of the internal combustion engine and to remove excess heat therefrom. A shield portion is fluidly coupled inline of the tubular conduit and is disposed between a heat source and a cooler operating component. The expanded portion further comprises a cooling body, an inlet in fluid communication with the tubular conduit and configured to conduct coolant into the cooling body and an outlet in fluid communication with the tubular conduit and is configured to conduct coolant out of the cooling body.

Description

technical field [0001] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to cooling systems for internal combustion engines, and more particularly, to a coolant line or conduit for a cooling system configured as a heat shield / heat shield for components of an internal combustion engine Shen. Background technique [0002] Consumer demand for smaller and more fuel efficient motor vehicles has led designers to consider smaller powertrains utilizing energy efficient devices. Examples include turbochargers that have not traditionally been considered "common" in many vehicle applications. Additionally, smaller vehicles present packaging challenges for all types of powertrains that would require unique solutions to address issues such as cooling; especially when hot components must be in close proximity to components that may not be well suited to high temperatures . [0003] Heat shields are often utilized between hot and colder operating components to protect the colder ope...
