摘要:
The present invention relates to a rotatable cover which can be screwed or plugged on and is to be fastened on a stationary connection of a motor vehicle radiator or compensator reservoir of cooling and heating systems. The cover has a screw or plug cap and/or swivel cap and a rotatable engagement part in which a valve in the form of a combined overpressure/underpressure unit is arranged concentrically. The valve has a sealing member which produces a sealing connection with the stationary connection when the cover is applied. When the cover is positioned on the stationary connection, it is possible to prevent by means of a temperature-related control member removal, such as unscrewing or twisting of the cover. The temperature-related control member or a coupling part actuated by means of the temperature-related control member can be moved substantially radially between a coupling position and a release position. Consequently, a cover is produced which cannot be removed in cooling systems in which the temperature is still excessive, but which can be removed only when the excessive temperature has fallen completely, the cover nevertheless having a space-saving structure.

The present invention concerns a safety device for a radiator cap detachably mounted on a fluid supply opening for closing the radiator opening. The safety device comprises a lock means for preventing the opening of the radiator cap when the temperature of the coolant in the radiator is higher than a predetermined value. The lock means is provided between the radiator cap and an inner surface of the fluid supply opening. The lock means comprises a lock portion provided on an inner surface of the fluid supply opening and a lock member fixedly secured to the radiator cap. The lock member is formed of a shape memory alloy.

Speed and temperature responsive drive apparatus includes a friction clutch which may be interposed between a vehicle engine and its associated cooling system fan. The clutch is biased toward engagement by a conventional spring and also by a thermal spring. A bladder develops a centrifugal pressure upon rotation of the apparatus, which pressure relieves the biasing forces of both springs.

In a cooling control device CM that controls the cooling state of an external device by controlling the flow rate of cooling water that flows in from an introduction port 10 and causing the cooling water to flow out from a first to a third discharge ports E1 to E3, the cooling control device CM is configured that, for example, the flow rate of the cooling water to be supplied to a radiator side from the cooling control device CM is controlled by the cooperation of a flow rate control valve CV that controls the flow rate of the water supply according to a preset rule, and a switching control valve SV that controls the flow rate of the water supply independently from the flow rate control valve CV through a route different from that of the flow rate control valve CV.
摘要:
A bypass valve for a cooler connected downstream from a hydraulic aggregate. The bypass valve includes a housing with ports for connection to the hydraulic aggregate and the cooler. A closure element is located in the housing for closing and opening a bypass. A spring pushes the closure element into a closing position, and thermo-sensitive means causes the closure element to open if the temperature of the hydraulic fluid is below a threshold temperature. The thermo-sensitive means are formed by the valve spring, which is made of a memory-metal alloy with a transition point close to the threshold temperature such that below the threshold temperature it no longer exerts a force and allows the closure element to open.

A bypass valve for blocking oil flow through a radiator from a transmission with low oil temperatures includes an oil supply from the radiator, an oil supply, via a bypass line, an oil outlet and a valve unit arranged inside the valve housing. The valve unit includes a compression spring and a heat sensitive element, which move depending on the oil temperature such that when the temperature falls below a threshold value, the oil supply from the radiator is closed and the supply, via a bypass line, is opened. When the oil temperature rises above the threshold value, the oil supply from the radiator is opened and the supply, via the bypass line, is closed. The valve unit can be axially moved against the force of the compression spring, when a predefined oil pressure is reached, thus opening the supply, via the bypass line.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a shape memory alloy (“SMA”)-actuated flow controller comprises a number of grille members, each having a long axis and being slideable relative to one another parallel to that long axis. The SMA-actuated flow controller also includes a frame configured to guide the number of grille members, and an actuator disposed within the frame to move at least one of the number of grille members for varying a size of an aperture. Further, the actuator includes an SMA actuator that includes a number of SMA elements each connecting one grille member to another.

There are provided a radiator passage, a thermostat to open and close the radiator passage according to an engine temperature, a heater passage, a flow adjusting device to adjust a flow amount of the coolant that flows in the water jacket according to the engine temperature at an engine start. The flow adjusting device is configured so as to adjust the flow amount of the coolant flowing in the water jacket to be a normal amount when the engine temperature is in an extremely-cold condition, to be zero or smaller than the normal amount when the engine is in a mild-cold condition, and to be the normal amount when the engine is in a warm condition. The heater passage is in opened sate at least when the engine is in the extremely-cold condition.
