Abstract

A passive diverter fitting for a cooling system of an engine includes a base defining an interior cavity, an inlet opening extending through the base that is in fluid communication with the interior cavity, an outlet opening that is in fluid communication with the interior cavity, and a bypass opening that is in fluid communication with the interior cavity. The base is configured to be removably disposed in a cavity of an engine block. The inlet opening is positioned to receive coolant when the passive diverter fitting is disposed in the cavity of the engine block. The outlet opening is in fluid communication with the area exterior to the engine block when the passive diverter fitting is disposed in the cavity of the engine block. The bypass opening is in fluid communication with an interior coolant passage of the engine block when the passive diverter fitting is disposed in the cavity of the engine block.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a cooling system for an engine, and more particularly to a cooling system utilizing a passive flow splitter fitting to divert fluid within the cooling system. Background technique [0002] Internal combustion engines used to operate motor vehicles or heavy machinery generate large amounts of heat that must be dissipated. If not dissipated properly, the heat can reduce the operating efficiency of the engine and can eventually cause damage to the engine. Engines typically include a cooling system configured to circulate a coolant through the engine block such that the coolant traps heat from the engine to cool the engine. The coolant then moves through the radiator so that the coolant loses heat to the atmosphere before returning through the engine block. [0003] In some cases, the engine's cooling system may be used to provide auxiliary cooling to coolers for engine accessories (eg, transmission cooler, brak...
