Radiator for vehicle

摘要

A radiator apparatus for a vehicle may include an inlet tank receiving coolant from an engine, a heat-exchanging portion fluidly connected to the inlet tank and provided with a plurality of tubes and radiation fins so as to cool the coolant flowing in the tubes by exchanging heat with air, and an outlet tank disposed apart from the inlet tank and fluid-connected to the heat-exchanging portion, wherein the outlet tank receives the coolant from the heat-exchanging portion and discharges the coolant back to the engine, a bubble separating unit mounted on a connecting hose supplying the coolant from the engine to the inlet tank, wherein the bubble separating unit separates bubble contained in the coolant and supplies the coolant from which the bubble may be separated to the inlet tank so as for the coolant to pass through the heat-exchanging portion.

1. A radiator apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
an inlet tank receiving coolant from an engine; a heat-exchanging portion fluidly connected to the inlet tank and provided with a plurality of tubes and radiation fins so as to cool the coolant flowing in the tubes by exchanging heat with air; and an outlet tank disposed apart from the inlet tank and fluid-connected to the heat-exchanging portion, wherein the outlet tank receives the coolant from the heat-exchanging portion and discharges the coolant back to the engine; a bubble separating unit mounted on a connecting hose supplying the coolant from the engine to the inlet tank, wherein the bubble separating unit separates the bubble contained in the coolant and supplies the coolant from which the bubble is separated to the inlet tank so as for the coolant to pass through the heat-exchanging portion, wherein the bubble separating unit includes:
a filler neck body provided with an inflow port fluidly connected to the engine through the connecting hose at a side surface thereof and an exhaust port fluidly connected to an inlet hole formed at the inlet tank at another side surface thereof;a bubble separating portion formed at an interior circumference of the inflow port and rotating the coolant to generate a whirlpool so as to separate the bubble from the coolant when the coolant flows into the inflow port;a bubble gathering portion integrally protruded upwards from an upper end of the filler neck body and disposed higher than the inflow port to gather therein the bubble separated from the coolant by the bubble separating portion; anda bubble exhaust port formed at a side of an upper portion of the bubble gathering portion so as to exhaust the bubble gathered in the bubble gathering portion.
