ABSTRACT:
A portable device is provided herein for testing a plurality of thermostats in situ, each thermostat being connected to an associated one of heat sensing units which are located within a liquid coolant circulation system of a manifold of a locomotive engin. The portable device includes a double-open-ended tubular casing fitted with an electric heater, whereby liquid coolant may be heated while it flows through the tubular casing. A first conduit is connected to one open, outflow, end of the tubular casing, the first conduit being provided with a pressure safety valve, the first conduit being connectable to a liquid coolant inflow line leading from a main liquid coolant reservoir, for conducting liquid coolant liquid to the manifold. The first conduit is provided with a first portion of a first, quick-connect coupling. A second conduit is connected to one inflow open end of the tubular casing, the second conduit being provided with a temperature gauge, and with a first portion of a second quick-connect coupling. Finally, a hose is connected to the second conduit by means of a second portion of the second quick-connect coupling. That hose is connectable to a liquid coolant outflow line for conducting liquid coolant from the manifold of a locomotive engine. Thus, a device is provided which may be disposed in the coolant liquid circulation system of the locomotive engine to provide a circulating flow of a confined, small amount of electrically-heated liquid coolant between the manifold and the portable device, to test the accuracy and operability of the plurality of thermostats.
