Abstract

2.1 Schwere Dieselbrennkraftmaschinen weisen üblicherweise einen Kühlmittelmantel auf, welcher Kühlmittel in einem Zylinderkopf von einem an den oberen Totpunkt eines Zylinders angrenzenden Bereich, der am weitesten von einem Kühlmittelauslaß entfernt ist, durch den übrigen Zylinderkopf über entsprechende Bereiche der verbleibenden Zylinder zu dem Kühlmittelauslaß transportiert. Der Bereich des Zylinders, der dem Kühlmittelauslaß am nächsten angeordnet ist, ist demnach heißer als der entsprechende Bereich des Zylinders, der am weitesten von dem Kühlmittelauslaß entfernt ist.
2.2 Es wird ein Zylinderkopf (10) mit einem Kühlwassermantel mit einer an die Zündflächen (18) der Zylinder angrenzenden Kühlebene und einer oberhalb der Kühlebene angeordneten Transportebene vorgeschlagen, wobei die Kühlebene und die Transportebene derart miteinander in Verbindung stehen, daß eine gleichmäßige Temperaturverteilung über alle Zylinder bzw. deren Zündflächen (18) zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Darüber hinaus wird eine Brennkraftmaschine mit einem solchen Zylinderkopf (10) vorgeschlagen.
2.3 Zylinderköpfe und Brennkraftmaschinen werden im Maschinensowie im Fahrzeugbau eingesetzt.
