Abstract
A cooling system for an engine may include: a coolant pump having a main inlet, a bypass inlet, a first outlet to supply coolant to an engine block, and a second outlet to supply coolant to an engine head; a main thermostat to control the flow of coolant discharged from the engine block and head; a bypass thermostat to selectively send the coolant discharged from the engine block to the bypass inlet of the coolant pump based on a temperature of the coolant discharged from the engine block; first and second coolant return lines to guide the coolant discharged from the engine head and block to the main thermostat; and a block coolant return line to directly connect the bypass thermostat to the bypass inlet of the coolant pump.
