Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a coolant circuit (1) for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine (3). The coolant circuit (1) having a plurality of coolant passages (10-1, 10-2, 10-3). A coolant distribution chamber (11) is provided in the coolant circuit (1). The coolant distribution chamber (11) has opposing first and second walls (12, 13) and a sidewall (14) extending between said first and second walls (12, 13). A coolant inlet (15) is disposed in the first wall (12) and a plurality of coolant outlets (17-1, 17-2, 17-3) are disposed in the sidewall (14). The coolant outlets (17-1, 17-2, 17-3) are each connected to a respective one of said coolant passages (10-1, 10-2, 10-3). A guide (18) is disposed in the coolant distribution chamber (11) for guiding coolant introduced into the coolant distribution chamber (11) through the coolant inlet (15) outwardly towards said coolant outlets (17-1, 17-2, 17-3). The coolant distribution chamber (11) may comprise a toroidal chamber.

Abstract: This invention involves the addition of ester bottoms to an asphalt paving composition to improve the usable temperature range (UTR). The ester bottoms are a byproduct of refining a feedstock containing all or a portion of vegetable oil or animal fat.
