Abstract

Für eine Brennkraftmaschine in V-Anordnung wird ein Kurbelgehäuse (1) vorgeschlagen, welches quaderförmig mit rechteckigen Querschnitt ausgeführt ist. Die Grundseite (15) des Kurbelgehäuses (1) entspricht näherungsweise der seitlichen Ausladung im Bereich der Zylinderköpfe. Zusätzlich weist das Kurbelgehäuse (1) wenigstens eine Kammer (2) auf. Vorzugsweise sind mehrere Kammern (2), entsprechend der Zylinderzahl der Brennkraftmaschine, vorgesehen. Diese weisen von der Längsseite des Kurbelgehäuses (1) in das Innere. In diesen Kammern (2) sind die Hilfsaggregate, Wärmetauscher, Filter und Ölvorratsräume angeordnet.

Figure 00000001
A crankcase (1) is proposed for an internal combustion engine in a V arrangement, which is cuboid with a rectangular cross section. The base side (15) of the crankcase (1) corresponds approximately to the lateral projection in the area of the cylinder heads. In addition, the crankcase (1) has at least one chamber (2). A plurality of chambers (2) are preferably provided, corresponding to the number of cylinders in the internal combustion engine. These point from the long side of the crankcase (1) into the interior. The auxiliary units, heat exchangers, filters and oil storage spaces are arranged in these chambers (2).
