OPERATION
GAS ENGINE
The system works in conjunction with the cooling system pressure cap to utilize thermal expansion and contraction of the coolant to keep the coolant free of trapped air. The system provides space for expansion and contraction. Also, the system provides a convenient and safe method for checking and adjusting the coolant level at atmospheric pressure without removing the pressure cap. It also provides some reserve coolant to compensate for minor leaks and evaporation or boiling losses.
DIESEL ENGINE
The location of the container allows any air or vapor exceeding the pressure/vent cap rating to escape through the cap. Coolant flows through the container at all times during engine operation whether the engine is cold or at normal operating temperature. The coolant container is equipped with a pressure/vent cap.
