Abstract
An apparatus and process for distributing coolant through first and second coolant loops comprising a pump having a first outlet port connected to the first coolant loop and a second outlet port connected to the second coolant loop. A valve switches coolant to the first or second outlet port individually or to the first and second outlet ports concurrently. Coolant pumped by the pump at an unrestricted rate of flow is circulated at a rate of flow less than the unrestricted rate of flow when the valve connects the first outlet port and circulated at a rate of flow less than the unrestricted rate of flow when the valve connects the second outlet port. When the valve connects the first and the second outlet ports concurrently coolant is circulated through the first and the second coolant loops at a rate of flow equal to the unrestricted rate of flow.
