摘要： A cooling system for internal combustion engines provides directed flows of heated or cooled coolant to various engine components and/or accessories as needed. By providing directed flows, the overall coolant flow volume is reduced from that of conventional cooling systems, allowing for a smaller capacity water pump to be employed which results in a net energy savings for the engine. Further, by reducing the overall coolant flow volume, the hoses and/or galleries required for the directed flows are reduced from those of conventional cooling systems, providing a cost savings and a weight savings. Finally, by preferably employing an impellor type water pump, the expense of an electric water pump and its associated control circuitry can be avoided. The direct flows are established by a multifunction valve which, in a preferred implementation, comprises a two-plate valve wherein each plate is operated by a wax motor.

摘要翻译： 用于内燃机的冷却系统根据需要向各种发动机部件和/或附件提供加热或冷却的冷却剂的指向流。 通过提供定向流动，整体冷却剂流量从常规冷却系统的流量减小，允许使用较小容量的水泵，这导致发动机的净能量节省。 此外，通过减少总体冷却剂流量，导向流所需的软管和/或画廊比常规冷却系统的软管和/或画廊减少，从而节省成本并减轻重量。 最后，通过优选采用叶轮式水泵，可以避免电动水泵及其相应的控制电路的费用。 直流是由多功能阀确定的，该多功能阀在优选的实施方式中包括一个双板阀，其中每个板由蜡马达操作。
