Abstract
An arrangement for filtering coolants used in internal combustion engines utilizes a panel filter disposed between a radiator core and an outlet header tank so as to trap particulates entrained in the coolant prior to returning the coolant to the engine. The panel filter has a pleated filter media surrounded by a gasket, which gasket seals between the outlet end of the radiator core and the outlet header tank.
