Title: Innovations by Pasquale DiPaola in Vehicle Cooling Systems
Introduction
Pasquale DiPaola is an accomplished inventor based in Maple, CA. He has made significant contributions to the field of vehicle cooling systems, holding a total of 3 patents. His innovative designs focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of internal combustion engine cooling systems.
Latest Patents
One of Pasquale DiPaola's latest patents is a vehicle cooling system with directed flows. This cooling system provides directed flows of heated or cooled coolant to various engine components and accessories as needed. By implementing directed flows, the overall coolant flow volume is reduced compared to conventional cooling systems. This reduction allows for the use of a smaller capacity water pump, resulting in net energy savings for the engine. Additionally, the decrease in coolant flow volume leads to fewer hoses and galleries required for the directed flows, which translates to cost and weight savings. The design also avoids the expense of an electric water pump and its associated control circuitry by employing an impellor type water pump. The direct flows are established by a multifunction valve, which in a preferred implementation, comprises a two-plate valve operated by a wax motor.
