The Coolant Expansion Tank from
MAHLE (MPN: CRT6000S) is an essential part of a vehicle's cooling system, responsible for managing coolant pressure and volume. Measuring 175.0 x 385.0 x 540.0 mm in size, it is designed to be used on various engines, ensuring safe engine operation and preventing overheating. This tank offers improved engine performance and reduced risk of damage. Dimensions are provided by the supplier and may include packaging dimensions.
Expansion tanks accommodate coolant volume changes due to temperature fluctuations within a vehicle’s closed cooling system. Typically constructed of polyamide or polypropylene, these pressurized reservoirs maintain system pressure and prevent air ingestion. Integral baffles within the tank de-aerate coolant, minimizing cavitation and corrosion. Level sensors or vent ports may be incorporated for monitoring or pressure regulation. Expansion tanks are commonly located in the engine compartment and are specific to vehicle make and cooling system design.
