Coolant filler neck assembly for pressurized cooling system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12000323B2) discloses a coolant filler neck assembly designed for a pressurized cooling system. The assembly includes a cylinder housing with a non-pressurized coolant overflow reservoir and an upper cap member attached to the housing. The upper cap member features an overflow inlet port member and a filler pipe member connecting to the pressurized cooling system. Additionally, the assembly comprises first and second fluid overflow tube members within the reservoir to direct overflow liquid coolant to the overflow reservoir and then to the ambient environment. The design ensures efficient management of coolant overflow in the system.
Furthermore, the coolant filler neck assembly includes various components such as a lower cap member with an overflow outlet port member, seal members for hermetical sealing, and multiple fluid conduits for directing overflow liquid coolant. These components work together to facilitate the proper functioning of the cooling system and prevent any potential coolant leaks or pressure build-up. The design of the assembly aims to enhance the overall performance and safety of pressurized cooling systems by providing a reliable and effective coolant management solution. Overall, the patented coolant filler neck assembly offers a comprehensive and innovative approach to addressing coolant overflow in pressurized cooling systems, ensuring optimal functionality and safety.
