Abstract
The liquid cooling system has a heat exchanger having a fluid inlet and an outlet; a fluid supply conduit leading to the inlet of the heat exchanger; a fluid return conduit extending from the outlet of the heat exchanger; a bypass conduit extending between the fluid supply conduit and the fluid return conduit; a thermal valve configured for selectively closing the bypass conduit, the valve having a temperature sensing element positioned downstream of both the heat exchanger and the bypass conduit, the temperature sensing element configured to selectively move the thermal valve in response to a temperature change of the liquid which the temperature sensing element is exposed to relative to a temperature threshold of the valve; and a deflector positioned between the temperature sensing element and at least one of the bypass conduit and the heat exchanger outlet.
