ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to apparatus for cooling an internal combustion engine.
More particularly, the invention relates to a radiator which utilizes laminar flow to more efficiently cool a liquid coursing through the radiator.
The utilization of a radiator as a heat exchange apparatus for a vehicle is well known in the art. A radiator receives coolant. The coolant courses through the jacket of an internal combustion engine and absorbs heat from the engine. The coolant travels to the radiator. The radiator removes heat from the coolant before the coolant travels back to the engine to remove heat from the engine. One objective of designing a radiator is to insure that the radiator operates efficiently in removing heat from coolant.
It therefore would be highly desirable to provide an improved radiator which would function more efficiently than conventional radiators in removing heat from coolant.
Therefore, it is a principal object of the invention to provide an improved radiator for an internal combustion engine.
A further object of the invention is to provide a radiator which produces a laminar air flow to improve the thermodynamic efficiency of a radiator.
Another object of the invention is to provide a radiator which minimizes the influence of air in reducing the thermodynamic efficiency of the radiator.
