The engine coolant degas separator is a swirl pot, which is required for the active degas of the cooling system. The engine coolant degas separator creates a vortex in the engine coolant. As a result, the gasses from the engine coolant are transferred to the coolant expansion tank.
The engine coolant degas separator also provides an engine coolant feed for the turbocharger.
