CONTROL VALVE AND COOLING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17975305 titled 'CONTROL VALVE AND COOLING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a control valve that is used in a coolant system for regulating the flow of coolant to different components. The valve includes various ports and a ball valve that rotates to selectively connect different ports.
- The control valve is designed to regulate the flow of coolant in a coolant system.
- It includes ports for coolant inflow, oil cooler, heater, and radiator.
- The valve has a bypass flow path that allows communication between the coolant port and the heater port.
- The ball valve inside the valve housing selectively connects the coolant port with the oil cooler port and the radiator port.
- The ball valve has a valve inlet that communicates with the coolant port and three section outlets on its outer periphery.
- The three section outlets selectively communicate with the valve inlet.
Potential Applications:
- Automotive cooling systems
- Industrial cooling systems
- HVAC systems
Problems Solved:
- Efficient regulation of coolant flow in a cooling system
- Proper distribution of coolant to different components
- Simplified design for controlling coolant flow
Benefits:
- Improved cooling system performance
- Enhanced control over coolant flow
- Simplified installation and maintenance
Original Abstract Submitted
A control valve includes: a valve housing; a coolant port formed in the valve housing and through which coolant inflows; an oil cooler port formed in the valve housing; a heater port formed in the valve housing; a radiator port formed in the valve housing; a bypass flow path through which the coolant port and the heater port communicate; and a ball valve, wherein the coolant port and the oil cooler port selectively communicate and the coolant port and the radiator port selectively communicate while the ball valve rotates inside the valve housing, wherein a valve inlet which communicates with the coolant port is formed in the ball valve, and a first section outlet, a second section outlet, and a third section outlet, which selectively communicate with the valve inlet are formed consecutively on an outer periphery of the ball valve.
