    摘要: A passive diverter fitting (108) for a cooling system (100) of an engine (102) includes a base (320) defining an interior cavity (322), an inlet opening (224) extending through the base that is in fluid communication with the interior cavity, an outlet opening (226) that is in fluid communication with the interior cavity, and a bypass opening (228) that is in fluid communication with the interior cavity. The base is configured to be removably disposed in a cavity of an engine block (238). 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 (240) of the engine block when the passive diverter fitting is disposed in the cavity of the engine block.
