ABSTRACT:
A flow monitor is removably connectable in serial fluid communication with a coolant conduit of an engine cooling system. By providing a flow restrictor between upstream and downstream ports, a differential pressure is created between the upstream and downstream ports. The measured magnitude of this differential pressure allows a microprocessor, or similarly configured component, to determine the actual flow rate of the coolant passing through the coolant conduit between the upstream and downstream pressure sensing ports. In this way, actual flow is measured to indicate the proper operation of the cooling system.
