Abstract

A connector for an engine cooling system is provided. The connector comprises: a first inlet; a second inlet; an outlet; a chamber in fluidic communication with the first inlet, second inlet and the outlet; a thermostatic valve provided within the chamber, the thermostatic valve configured to selectively restrict flow from the first inlet to the outlet, wherein the thermostatic valve is arranged such that fluid from the second inlet passes through the chamber to the outlet and is in thermal communication with the thermostatic valve, such that the thermostatic valve opens or closes in response to a temperature of the fluid from the second inlet; and a pressure relief valve provided within the chamber and within a flow path from the first inlet to the outlet, the pressure relief valve opening in response to a pressure of fluid at the first inlet to bypass the thermostatic valve. An engine cooling system comprising the connector is also provided.
