Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An internal combustion engine includes a cooling fluid circuit and a pumping circuit. The pumping circuit drives an ejector pump located along the cooling fluid circuit, enabling a reduced parasitic load on the engine from pumping cooling fluid through the cooling fluid circuit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. An internal combustion engine, comprising: an engine body; an exhaust system connected to the engine body and adapted to receive an exhaust gas from the engine body, the exhaust system including a heat exchanger; a cooling fluid circuit adapted to cool the engine body, the cooling fluid circuit containing a coolant and including a radiator; and a pumping system connected to the cooling fluid circuit at a first location between the radiator and the engine body, u…
