Abstract:
A coolant draining tool for draining a coolant from an electrical storage system, ESS, of a heavy-duty vehicle, wherein the coolant draining tool is of elongated shape and includes an internal tubular channel for guiding a flow of coolant in a discharge direction, the coolant draining tool including an externally threaded portion which encloses the tubular channel at a distal first end of the coolant draining tool, wherein a valve engagement member is arranged centered in the tubular channel at the first end of the coolant draining tool, the valve engagement member being arranged to engage a spring-loaded valve of an ESS connector to bias the valve into an open position.
Abstract:
An outboard motor includes a water jacket provided in a water-cooled engine, a first channel configured to allow a downstream-side end of a coolant flow of the water jacket to communicate with the external air, a thermo-valve provided between a downstream-side end of the coolant flow of the water jacket and an upstream-side end of the coolant flow of the first channel, a second channel configured to allow an upstream side of the coolant flow of the thermo-valve to communicate with the external air, and a second valve configured to open or close a second channel.
Abstract:
A cooling system for an engine includes a coolant tank, a heat exchanger, and a drain valve. The coolant tank holds a fluid coolant and is coupled with a tank conduit through which the coolant flows from or to the coolant tank. The heat exchanger is fluidly coupled with a supply conduit. The drain valve is fluidly coupled with the coolant tank by the tank conduit and with the supply conduit. The drain valve is fluidly coupled with a drain conduit that directs the coolant out of the cooling system and alternates between a closed position and an open position. The drain valve prevents the coolant from flowing out of the cooling system through the drain conduit when in the closed position and permits the coolant to flow from the heat exchanger and out of the cooling system through the drain conduit when in the open position.
