Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a cooling arrangement. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to thermostat housing for a thermostat used for detecting temperature of engine coolant used in an engine cooling arrangement.
- An engine cooling system includes a coolant flow passage formed around a cylinder block of an engine for extracting heat generated in the engine during operation of the engine.
- the heated coolant is then circulated to a radiator with the help of a pump for dissipating the extracted heat, wherein the heated coolant is cooled down by air-flow and the cooled coolant is circulated back to the coolant flow passage to repeat the cycle of heat extraction from the engine.
- the flow of engine coolant to the radiator is governed based on temperature of the engine coolant detected by a thermostat. The thermostat should accurately detect the temperature of the engine coolant and allow or by-pass coolant flow to the radiator.
- inlet controlled thermostats wherein based on the temperature of the engine coolant detected by the thermostat, the coolant from cylinder block is by-passed from a pump directing coolant to the radiator during engine warm up condition.
- a control valve is activated and the coolant is directed via the pump that directs the coolant to the radiator.
- the thermostat accurately detects the temperature of the engine coolant as the flow of coolant between the radiator and the engine is controlled based on the coolant temperature detected by the thermostat.
- the accuracy of the thermostat depends upon configuration of the thermostat housing that should facilitate sufficient contact between the coolant and the thermostat, particularly, the thermostat housing should enhance coolant flow over the thermostat.
- a variety of thermostat housing having different configuration are known in the prior art
- the US Published Patent Application, US2012312884 discloses a thermostat device.

- the thermostat device is provided with a temperature sensor ( 20 ) which is provided to face the inside of the thermostat accommodating part and detects the temperature of the coolant.
- a sensor mounting part ( 21 ) which is provided with the temperature sensor therein is provided integrally at the inner end of the cover, and a lead connecting part ( 25 ) which is drawn to the outside from the temperature sensor is provided integrally at the outer end of the cover
- the U.S. Pat. No. 5,410,991 discloses coolant fill housing with integral thermostat.
- the apparatus includes a fill housing having an inlet section, an outlet section and a fill section configured to receive a cap thereon.
- the inlet section is formed to include a valve seat and a flange for coupling the fill housing to an engine.
- the apparatus also includes a thermostat and means for coupling the thermostat to the flange to hold the thermostat within the inlet section beneath an outer surface of the flange.
- the fill housing is formed to include a venturi portion located between the inlet section and the outlet section to provide a pressure drop in the fill housing as fluid flows through the fill housing.
- the venturi portion is located adjacent the fill section to subject the fill section to the pressure drop as fluid flows through the fill housing.
- the WIPO Published Patent Application WO2012072654 discloses a thermostat valve ( 1 ) for a cooling system of an internal combustion engine with a coolant stoppage function.
- the thermostat valve ( 1 ) for the cooling system includes a first bypass valve element ( 31 ) and a second bypass valve element ( 6 ), a main valve element ( 30 ) to be arranged in a counterpart ( 2 ) to a connection ( 22 ) to a coolant radiator, and a cross-member ( 4 ) to be arranged between an engine outlet ( 21 ) and an engine inlet ( 20 ), which cross-member ( 4 ) forms a valve seat for the first bypass valve element ( 31 ) and the second bypass valve element ( 6 ), wherein, on its outer side, the cross-member ( 4 ) has a collar ( 41 ) which forms an axial supporting region for the counterpart ( 2 ) and which is loaded in the axial direction (I) by a compression spring ( 7 ), with the result that the collar ( 41 ) is forced in the direction of the counterpart (
- the U.S. Pat. No. 4,653,688 discloses a choke type thermostat.
- the choke-type thermostat is provided with a bypass valve.
- the inventive thermostat has a pliable valve member which prevents flow to an engine coolant bypass when the thermostat is in the completely open position in regards to an engine radiator outlet. Valving of the engine coolant bypass provides maximum flow to the radiator outlet when the thermostat is in the open position. Since the engine bypass is valved off by the thermostat when the thermostat is in the open position the diameter of the engine coolant bypass may be increased therefore allowing increased flow there-through when the thermostat is in a closed position.

- the integrated fluid recovery reservoir and thermostat assembly includes a coolant reservoir housing 26 which is mounted directly to the engine 14 and which includes inlet ports 28 , 30 for receiving coolant 38 from engine 14 and an outlet flow portion or module 46 which is fluidly coupled to the radiator 18 .
- the assembly 10 further includes a flow control module and thermostat assembly 42 which is attached to the reservoir housing 26 and which selectively and fluidly communicates with the reservoir housing 26 , with the coolant pump 20 and with the radiator 18 .
- a thermostat valve 72 is attached to and/or within assembly 42 and cooperates with assembly 42 to selectively control the flow of the coolant 38 through the engine cooling system 10 .
- the thermostat 72 is integrated within a fill cap 54 , which allows the system 10 to be easily filled with coolant and allows the thermostat 72 to be easily serviced or replaced.
