Fluid circuit of engine
Abstract
A fluid circuit of an engine fitted with a cooling circuit and an oil circuit, may include a water pump mounted on a coolant circulation line, a radiator that connected to a coolant exhaust line of the engine, a water temperature governor selectively connecting the radiator with the water pump to control a coolant flow therebetween, a first cooling line connecting the coolant exhaust line with a subsidiary unit, a first return line directly connecting the subsidiary unit with the water pump through the water temperature governor, a second cooling line connecting the first cooling line to a turbocharger to guide a part of a coolant supplied to the first cooling line to the turbocharger, and a second return line connecting the turbocharger with the first return line to guide a part of the coolant that is exhausted from the turbocharger to the first return line.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A fluid circuit of an engine that is fitted with a cooling circuit and an oil circuit, comprising:
a water pump that is mounted on a coolant circulation line; a radiator that is connected to a coolant exhaust line of the engine; a water temperature governor that selectively connects the radiator with the water pump to control a coolant flow therebetween; a first cooling line that connects the coolant exhaust line with a subsidiary unit; a first return line that directly connects the subsidiary unit with the water pump through the water temperature governor; a second cooling line that connects the first cooling line to a turbocharger to guide a part of a coolant that is supplied to the first cooling line to the turbocharger; and a second return line that connects the turbocharger with the first return line to guide a coolant that is exhausted from the turbocharger to the first return line.
2 . The fluid circuit of an engine of claim 1 , wherein the oil circuit includes:
a main oil line that is mounted in a cylinder block of the engine to receive oil from a hydraulic pump; a first oil line that connects the turbocharger with the main oil line to guide the oil that is supplied from the main oil line to the turbocharger; and a second oil line that guides oil that is returned from the turbocharger to the main oil line.
3 . The fluid circuit of an engine of claim 1 , wherein the water temperature governor includes:
a main line that connects the radiator and water pump and selectively supplies a coolant that is transmitted from the radiator to the water pump; and a bypass line that is separately formed from the main line and directly connects the first return line to the water pump to guide a coolant that is returned from the first return line to the water pump, wherein a main valve that is mounted in the main line and is opened or closed according to a temperature of the coolant that is transmitted from the radiator to control the coolant flow between the radiator and the water pump.
4 . The fluid circuit of an engine of claim 3 , wherein the main line and the bypass lien are integrally formed in the water temperature governor.
5 . The fluid circuit of an engine of one of claims 3 , wherein the oil circuit includes:
a main oil line that is mounted in a cylinder block of the engine to receive oil from a hydraulic pump; a first oil line that connects the turbocharger with the main oil line to guide the oil that is supplied from the main oil line to the turbocharger; and a second oil line that guides oil that is returned from the turbocharger to the main oil line.
6 . The fluid circuit of an engine of claim 3 , wherein in a case that the temperature of the coolant transmitted from the radiator is higher than a predetermined temperature, the main valve is opened such that the coolant that is cooled through the radiator is supplied to the water pump.
7 . The fluid circuit of an engine of claim 3 , wherein the bypass line is a non-bypass valve type through which the coolant always flows.
8 . The fluid circuit of an engine of one of claim 7 , wherein the oil circuit includes:
a main oil line that is mounted in a cylinder block of the engine to receive oil from a hydraulic pump; a first oil line that connects the turbocharger with the main oil line to guide the oil that is supplied from the main oil line to the turbocharger; and a second oil line that guides oil that is returned from the turbocharger to the main oil line.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
