Coolant Inlet/Outlet Locations

□

Inside diameter of outlet

must

be greater than, or equal to respective inlet connections.

□

A well rounded coolant outlet exit area is preferred, see Figure 7-16, to minimize restriction

and aeration.

Figure 7-16

Radiator Outlet Contour

□

Depth of the tank should be no less than the diameter of the outlet pipe to minimize

restriction.
