| 20150144079 | DEGASSING TANK, AND MOTOR VEHICLE COOLING SYSTEM PROVIDED WITH SUCH A DEGASSING TANK - The present invention relates to a venting tank, suitable for being fitted in a cooling system of a motor vehicle and defining an inner space intended for receiving a coolant, the venting tank including at least one inlet and at least one outlet for the coolant which are arranged below a minimum liquid level when the vehicle is in service, wherein the venting tank also includes, opposite the inlet or at least some of the inlets, a member for guiding the coolant, penetrating into the inner space via the inlet, following a flow directed toward a lower wall of the venting tank opposite the flow arriving through the inlet, and forming a 180-degree arc. The invention also relates to a motor-vehicle cooling system provided with such a venting tank. | 05-28-2015 |
| 20150369186 | Temperature Varying Circulation System for Use with Alternative Fuels - The present invention is a system and method for modifying an engine for use with an alternative fuel that needs to be conditioned. Coolant is diverted from the original engine heater core and is used to heat or condition the alternative fuel both in the alternative fuel tank and in a special manifold that heats and circulates the fuel before delivering it to the engine. An electronic control unit monitors the temperature and pressure to ensure proper viscosity and engine operation. | 12-24-2015 |
