Abstract:
A first electronic device, a second electronic device which generates less heat than the first electric device, and an electrode are connected by a heat leveling plate formed of an electrically conductive material having high thermal conductivity. A heat radiation plate is provided below an insulated substrate to which the first and second electronic devices are mounted. The second electronic device is cooled by a heat radiation path which extends through the insulated substrate and the heat radiation plate and a heat radiation path which extends through the second electronic device and the electrode to the heat radiation plate. The first and the second electronic device have substantially the same temperature due to heat radiation through the heat leveling plate. As a result, cooling effect of the electronic devices can be enhanced.
Abstract:
In order to simplify the control and construction of the cooling system in a manner which avoids the need for costly electromagnetic valves and control circuits such as microprocessor and the like, a reservoir in which coolant is stored is arranged to constantly communicate with a lower portion of a cooling circuit which includes the coolant jacket and the radiator in which the coolant vapor is condensed. A small coolant pump returns condensate from the radiator to the coolant jacket in response to a temperature sensor disposed in the coolant jacket. A cooling fan or like device is operated in response to a second temperature sensor disposed at the bottom of the radiator. The reservoir communicates with the ambient atmosphere through a relief valve which remains closed until a predetermined positive or negative pressure differential prevails between the ambient atmosphere and the interior of the reservoir.
Abstract:
In order to obviate vapor locking and subsequent cavitation of a pump which returns coolant vapor condensate from a radiator to the coolant jacket of an evaporative type cooled internal combustion engine and maintains the highly heated structure of the engine immersed in a predetermined depth of liquid coolant, the load on the pump is sensed by determining the amount of electrical current the pump is drawing and in the event that the load is at a level indicative of pump cavitation the connection between the radiator and the pump is interrupted and communication between a reservoir and the pump is established so as to introduce cool liquid coolant into the induction port of the pump.
Abstract:
In the event that the normal coolant return pump of an evaporative type automotive cooling system malfunctions, a back-up system establishes fluid communication between the cooling circuit and the circulation pump of a heater circuit in a manner which enables the heater circulation pump to be used in place of the normal unit until such time as repair can be effected.
Abstract:
A cabin heating arrangement is associated with an evaporative type engine cooling system and arranged so that immediately after a cold engine start when the cooling circuit of the engine is completely filled with liquid coolant coolant is inducted from a first port located immediately adjacent the most highly heated structure of the engine and pumped through the core of the cabin heater. Upon the coolant temperature rising sufficiently, coolant vapor is inducted from a second port located above the first one and introduced into the heater core.
