Abstract:
A tank for a radiator. The tank includes an inlet port through which coolant enters the tank. A wall at least partially defines a cavity in fluid communication with the inlet port. A curved surface of the wall is opposite to the inlet port and reduces volume of the cavity at the inlet port. The curved surface is configured to reduce turbulence of coolant flowing into the cavity from the inlet port. At least one turning vane extends along the wall into the cavity from the inlet port. The at least one turning vane is curved to reduce turbulence of coolant flowing through the inlet port and into the cavity.
