Bypass device for reservoir and intake conduit heating of power fluids

摘要

A system for controlling the temperature of a power fluid comprising a temperature responsive mechanical manifold which automatically bypasses a heating or cooling heat exchange medium from flow into a heat exchange conduit in a reservoir tank and around a power fluid intake conduit. Improved heat rise within the power fluid intake conduit is accomplished by a baffle assembly. The bypassing of heat exchange medium from the heat exchange conduit is controlled by the fuel temperature sensed proximate the outlet end of the power fluid intake conduit.
