Coolant Reservoir: Description and Operation

NOTE:  Walter C. Avrea, the owner of patents 3,601, 181 and RE27, 965, has granted Ford Motor Company rights with respect to cooling systems
covered by these patents.

The coolant recovery system consists of the:

^

Radiator coolant recovery reservoir

^

Radiator overflow hose 

^

Pressure-vacuum pressure relief cap

The advantages of a coolant recovery system are:

^

No loss of coolant when engine is hot.

^

Reduced pollution due to coolant not being released from the vehicle.

^

Reduced air trapped in the coolant resulting in less overheating from coolant foaming, longer water pump seal life, reduced possibility of water
pump impeller damage from bubbles in coolant, longer hose life, and less cooling system corrosion.
