Abstract
In order to attenuate the amount of liquid coolant which flows from the coolant jacket to the radiator of an evaporative cooled internal combustion engine, a vapor manifold is arranged to induce the coolant vapor to flow through a collector section thereof in a manner that the liquid droplets develop a velocity which tends to carry the same through a drain port formed at one end of the manifold. The vapor is caused to pass out through a vapor discharge port formed at an acute angle with respect to the direction in which the coolant flows through the collector section. This induces a flow pattern in the vapor flow which produces an angular acceleration which separates liquid coolant droplets from the vapor before the vapor passes out through the vapor discharge port.
