Die Wasserpumpe 6 besteht aus einem Deckelteil 8, in dem das Wasserpumpenrad 10 gelagert ist. Zwischen den beiden Zylinderreihen ist das Gehäuse 12 der Wasserpumpe 6 angeordnet, das einstückig aus dem Kurbelgehäuseoberteil 2 herausgebildet ist. Koaxial zum Wasserpumpenrad 10 ist im Gehäuse 12 ein Ansaugstutzen 14 vorgesehen, der in ein eine erste Kühlmittel - Rücklaufkammer 16 bildendes Unterteil 18 eines Thermostatgehäuses übergeht, wobei das Unterteil 18 einstückig aus dem Kurbelgehäuseoberteil 2 herausgebildet ist. In die erste Kühlmittel- Rücklaufkammer 16 ist ein Thermostat Einlegeteil 20 eingesetzt, das mit Hilfe von nicht dargestellten Befestigungsmitteln im Unterteil 18 des Thermostatgehäuses verschraubt ist. Das wannenförmig ausgebildete und beispielsweise aus Aluminium- Druckguss hergestellte Einlegteil 20 weist an seinem Boden eine zylindrische Öffnung 22 auf, die wie im folgenden noch näher beschrieben, durch einen ersten Ventilteller 24 eines Thermostatventils 26 überwacht ist. Das Thermostat-Einlegeteil 20 weist im seitlichen Wandbereich eine weitere, mit einem Stutzen 28 versehene Öffnung 30 auf. Der Stutzen 28 ist dabei in den Ansaugstutzen 14 des Wasserpumpengehäuses 12 über einen 0 - Ring 32 dichtend eingesteckt. Das Thermostatgehäuse wird durch ein Oberteil 34 abgeschlossen, das mit seiner Flanschfläche 36 gegenüber der Flanschfläche 38 des Unterteils 18 abgedichtet ist.This in Fig. 1 shown crankcase upper part 2 of a V8 - engine has for each cylinder bank row a cylinder 1 to 4 and 5 to 8 enclosing the cooling jacket. To generate a forced flow in the cooling jackets, a water pump 6 is arranged on an end face 4 of the internal combustion engine. The water pump 6 consists of a cover part 8, in which the Wasserpumpenrad 10 is mounted. Between the two rows of cylinders, the housing 12 of the water pump 6 is arranged, which is integrally formed out of the crankcase upper part 2. Coaxial with Wasserpumpenrad 10, an intake manifold 14 is provided in the housing 12, which merges into a first coolant - return chamber 16 forming lower part 18 of a thermostat housing, wherein the lower part 18 is integrally formed out of the crankcase upper part 2. In the first coolant return chamber 16, a thermostat insert 20 is used, which is bolted by means not shown fastening means in the lower part 18 of the thermostat housing. The trough-shaped and manufactured, for example, die-cast aluminum insert 20 has at its bottom a cylindrical opening 22 which, as described in more detail below, by a first valve plate 24 of a thermostatic valve 26 is monitored. The thermostat insert 20 has in the lateral wall region on another, provided with a nozzle 28 opening 30. The nozzle 28 is inserted sealingly into the intake 14 of the water pump housing 12 via a 0 - ring 32.

Auf der Unterseite des Thermostat - Oberteils 34 ist eine entsprechend der gestrichelt dargestellten Linie (siehe Fig. 4) verlaufende innere Flanschfläche 40 vorgesehen, die im montierten Zustand gegenüber dem Wannenrand 42 des Einlegeteils 20 abdichtet und wodurch im Einlegteil 20 eine zweite Kühlmittel - Rücklaufkammer 44 gebildet ist. Das Thermostat- Oberteil 34 weist einen zu einem nicht dargestellten Kühler führenden Anschlussstutzen 46 auf, der mit der ersten Kühlmittel- Rücklaufkammer 16 in Verbindung steht. Ein zweiter Anschlussstutzen 48 für das vom Kühler zurückfließende. Kühlwasser steht über eine im Rücklaufstutzen 48 ausgebildete Öffnung 50 mit der zweiten Kühlmittel- Rücklaufkammer 44 in Verbindung. Die Öffnung 50 wird dabei über einen zweiten Ventilteller 52 des Thermostatventils 26 überwacht. Zur Befestigung des Thermostatventils ist ein Halteblech 54 vorgesehen, das an zwei Haltestegen 56 und 58 befestigt ist, die auf der Flanschseite des Thermostat Oberteils 34 angegossen sind.On the underside of the thermostat upper part 34 is a line corresponding to the dashed line (see Fig. 4 ) extending inner flange surface 40 is provided, which seals in the assembled state against the tub rim 42 of the insert 20 and whereby in the Einlegteil 20, a second coolant - return chamber 44 is formed. The thermostatic upper part 34 has a connecting piece 46 leading to a cooler, not shown, which communicates with the first coolant return chamber 16. A second connecting piece 48 for the back flowing from the radiator. Cooling water is connected via an opening formed in the return port 48 opening 50 with the second coolant return chamber 44 in connection. The opening 50 is monitored via a second valve plate 52 of the thermostatic valve 26. For attachment of the thermostatic valve, a holding plate 54 is provided, which is fastened to two holding webs 56 and 58 which are cast on the flange side of the thermostat upper part 34.

Im folgenden wird anhand des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels das an sich bekannte Umschalten vom kleinen Kühlmittelkreislauf zum großen Kühlmittelkreislauf, in dem ein entsprechender Kühler mit einbezogen ist, erläutert:In the following, the per se known switching from the small coolant circuit to the large coolant circuit, in which a corresponding radiator is included, is explained with reference to the present exemplary embodiment:

In der Warmlaufphase des Motors ist der kleine Kühlmittelkreislauf aktiviert: Dazu ist die im Bodenbereich des Einlegeteils 20 vorgesehene Öffnung 22 durch den Ventilteller 24 freigegeben (siehe Fig. 5), so dass das aus den Zylinderbankreihen zurückströmende Kühlmittel von der ersten Kühlmittel - Rücklaufkammer 16 in die zweite Rücklaufkammer 44 gelangt. Da durch den zweiten Ventilteller 52 die Öffnung 50 verschlossen ist, wird über den Ansaugstutzen 14 der Wasserpumpe 6 das Kühlmittel über das Wasserpumpenrad 10 in ein Kühlmittelrohr 60 gefördert und gelangt von dort aus wiederum zu den in den beiden Zylinderbankreihen angeordneten Kühlmänteln.In the warm-up phase of the engine of the small coolant circuit is activated: For this purpose, provided in the bottom region of the insert 20 opening 22 is released by the valve plate 24 (see Fig. 5 ), so that the coolant flowing back from the cylinder bank rows passes from the first coolant return chamber 16 into the second return chamber 44. Since the opening 50 is closed by the second valve disk 52, via the intake 14 of the water pump 6, the coolant on the Pumped water pump 10 in a coolant tube 60 and passes from there again to the arranged in the two rows of cylinder cooling jackets.

Neben dem soeben beschriebenen kleinen Kühlmittelkreislauf wird nach dem Erreichen der Betriebstemperatur der Brennkraftmaschine auf den großen Kühlmittelkreislauf umgeschaltet, bei dem der Kühlerkreislauf mit einbezogen ist. In diesem Fall wird, wie in Fig. 6 dargestellt, durch den ersten Ventilteller 24 die Öffnung 22 verschlossen, während die durch den zweiten Ventilteller 52 kontrollierte Öffnung 50 zum Kühlerrücklauf (Rücklaufstutzen 48) freigegeben ist. Das aus den Zylinderbänken zurückströmende Kühlmittel gelangt in die erste Rücklaufkammer 16 und wird dann über den Vorlaufstutzen 46 zum Kühler geführt; das durch den Kühler abgekühlte Kühlmittel gelangt über den Rücklaufstutzen 48 in die zweite Rücklaufkammer 44 zurück und wird von dort aus wieder über den Ansaugstutzen 14 der Wasserpumpe 6 und mit Hilfe des Wasserpumpenrades 10 über das Kühlmittelrohr 60 zu den Zylinderbänken geführt.In addition to the just described small refrigerant circuit is switched after reaching the operating temperature of the internal combustion engine to the large coolant circuit in which the cooler circuit is included. In this case, as in Fig. 6 illustrated, closed by the first valve plate 24, the opening 22, while the controlled by the second valve plate 52 opening 50 to the radiator return (return pipe 48) is released. The flowing back from the cylinder banks coolant enters the first return chamber 16 and is then passed through the flow pipe 46 to the radiator; the cooled by the radiator coolant passes through the return port 48 into the second return chamber 44 and is guided from there again via the intake 14 of the water pump 6 and with the help of Wasserpumpenrades 10 via the coolant pipe 60 to the cylinder banks.
