Abstract:
1. An apparatus for cooling the brake fluid in a hydraulic brake system of a vehicle comprising: a pump having an outlet port in communication by a first conduit with a first pressure port of a brake, wherein said brake is a dual brake system having a first brake and a second brake, and wherein there is a first check valve disposed in said first conduit oriented to allow a brake fluid flow from said pump to said dual brake system and to inhibit flow from said dual brake system to said pump; a bleed port of said dual brake system in fluid communication with a master brake cylinder; said master brake cylinder in fluid communication with an inlet port of said pump; a fluid connector having an input port connected to said first conduit; a first output port of said fluid connector in fluid communication by a second conduit to said pressure port of said first brake and a second output port of said fluid connector in fluid communication by a third conduit to a second pressure port of said second brake; a second check valve disposed in said second conduit oriented to allow said brake fluid flow from said first output port to said first brake and to inhibit flow from said first brake to said pump; and a third check valve disposed in said third conduit oriented to allow said brake fluid flow from said second output port to said second brake and to inhibit flow from said second brake to said pump.
