Coolant Reservoir: Description and Operation
COOLANT RECOVERY CONTAINER
DESCRIPTION
The coolant recovery system consists of a coolant recovery container mounted to the dash panel, a vent hose for the coolant recovery container, a hose
connecting the container to the coolant outlet connector on the engine, and a pressure cap .
OPERATION
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.
