Abstract

In order to prevent large amounts of liquid coolant from boiling over from a coolant jacket of an evaporative cooling system wherein coolant vapor is used as a vehicle for removing heat from the engine to the condenser in which the coolant vapor is condensed, a vapor manifold is arranged to collect any liquid coolant before it reaches the radiator and return same to a relatively cool section of the coolant jacket.
