Thermostatically controlled multi-circuit cooling system

Abstract:

A cooling system includes a fan, a first fluid circuit, and a second fluid circuit. The first fluid circuit includes a first fluid, a first heat exchanger, a first exchanger bypass, and a first thermostat to selectively control flow of the first fluid between the first heat exchanger and the first exchanger bypass. The second fluid circuit is fluidly independent of the first fluid circuit. The second fluid circuit includes a second fluid separate from the first fluid, a second heat exchanger, a second exchanger bypass, and a second thermostat to selectively control flow of the second fluid between the second heat exchanger and the second exchanger bypass. The fan is positioned in proximity to the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger to cool the first fluid and the second fluid dependent upon operation of the first thermostat and the second thermostat, respectively.
