  • Patent number: 9098095
    Abstract: A cooler bypass apparatus housing has a first fluid passageway connecting a first inlet and a first outlet port, and a second fluid passageway connecting a second inlet port and outlet port. A transverse passageway extends between the first and second fluid passageway. A first valve is disposed in the transverse passageway for one-way fluid flow from the first to the second passageway. A second valve and a thermal actuator coupled to the second valve are disposed in the second passageway. The thermal actuator moves the second valve to fluid flow blocking or fluid flow allowing positions dependent upon fluid temperature.
