FLOATING VALVE FOR AIR VENTILATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17835621 titled 'FLOATING VALVE FOR AIR VENTILATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a floating valve for air ventilation in a vehicle cooling system. Here are the key points:
- The valve is mounted in a vent hose connected to a surge tank of the cooling system.
- It consists of an upper port and a lower port, both connected to the vent hose.
- A structure portion connects the upper and lower ports, allowing fluid communication.
- Inside the structure portion, there is a floating ball that moves to seal the opening of the upper port when cooling fluid flows in.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Vehicle cooling systems: The floating valve can be used in various types of vehicles to regulate air ventilation and maintain the proper functioning of the cooling system.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Preventing airlocks: The floating valve ensures that cooling fluid flows smoothly through the system, preventing the formation of airlocks that can hinder the cooling process.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved cooling system performance: By effectively sealing the opening of the upper port, the floating valve helps maintain the proper flow of cooling fluid, enhancing the overall performance of the cooling system.
- Easy installation: The valve can be easily mounted in the vent hose, making it convenient for vehicle manufacturers and mechanics to incorporate into cooling systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
A floating valve for air ventilation mounted in a vent hose connected to a surge tank of a vehicle cooling system includes: an upper port including a first hollow, wherein an upper end portion of the first hollow is connected to the vent hose; a lower port including a second hollow, wherein a lower end portion of the second hollow is connected to the vent hose at a location facing the upper port; a structure portion provided to connect the upper port and the lower port to each other in fluidical communication with the upper port and the lower port; and a floating ball provided to be movable inside the structure portion so that the floating ball floats to seal an opening of the first hollow in the upper port when cooling fluid flows into the structure portion.
