  • Patent number: 9523307
    Abstract: An engine system may include a first cylindrical valve in which a first outlet is formed from an interior surface to an exterior surface thereof and a second cylindrical valve inserted into the first cylindrical valve, an exterior circumference thereof sliding on the interior circumference of the first cylindrical valve, wherein a second outlet is formed to the second cylindrical valve corresponding to the first outlet, and the second cylindrical valve is separately rotatable in the first cylindrical valve, a drive portion that is engaged to the first cylindrical valve and the second cylindrical valve and disposed to respectively rotate the first cylindrical valve and the second cylindrical valve, and a control portion that controls the drive portion depending on a driving condition such that an overlapped area of the first outlet and the second outlet is controlled and coolant flowing the overlapped area is controlled.

  • Publication number: 20150361865
    Abstract: An engine system having a control valve may include a multi flow rate control valve that circulates a coolant supplied a side of the multi flow rate control valve to at least two heat exchangers, a pressure cap that is connected to a supply line, which connects the multi flow rate control valve to the at least two heat exchangers, and is operated by a pressure that is transferred from the supply line to release the pressure or exhaust the coolant through an outlet, a reservoir tank that is mounted at one side of the pressure cap and is formed to house the coolant exhausted from the pressure cap, and a connection line that connects the outlet with the reservoir tank to release the pressure from the pressure cap or exhaust the coolant from the pressure cap.
