Definitions

  • Coolant circuit for an internal combustion engine in particular designed as a two-circuit cooling coolant circuit for internal combustion engines with at least two parallel cylinder banks, preferably in V or W design.
  • Such coolant circuits are used in internal combustion engine construction for motor vehicles for cooling assemblies of the internal combustion engine, in particular of cylinder heads and cylinder crankcases, at a different temperature level.
  • Coolant circuits for internal combustion engines with a cylinder crankcase having opposite cylinder banks are among others from the DE 103 18 744 A1 or the DE 10 2006 044 680 A1 known.
  • V-engine Coolant circuits for internal combustion engines with a cylinder crankcase having opposite cylinder banks, that is designed as a so-called "V-engine” are among others from the DE 103 18 744 A1 or the DE 10 2006 044 680 A1 known.
  • there is always a fluidic connection between the coolant jacket of the cylinder crankcase and the coolant jacket in the overlying cylinder heads so that no separate flow at different temperature levels is possible.
  • Such a dual-circuit cooling as is known from the DE 198 03 885 A1 or the JP 600 199 12 A shows, in which the cylinder crankcase and the cylinder head are internally fluidically separated from each other and involved in parallel to each other subcircuits of the coolant circuit are so far mainly used in inline engines with a single cylinder bank.
  • the generic DE 100 21 525 A1 shows, however, a cooling circuit for a multi-cylinder V-engine with a cooling jacket surrounding a cylinder head housing and a cylinder block, which is supplied via a pump with coolant, at least one cylinder cooling jacket and at least one cylinder head cooling chamber are provided with a connection for the supply of the cooling liquid and wherein the flow through the cylinder head housing and cylinder block with coolant takes place in parallel.
  • the disadvantage is that a blockage of the outflow of the cylinder cooling jacket, for faster heating of the therein cooling liquid, while cooling liquid flow through the cylinder head cooling chamber, an undesirable cooling liquid movement in the cylinder cooling jacket by cross flows to result, which slows the heating of the cylinder block.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a coolant circuit for an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinder banks, in which rapid heating of the coolant in the cylinder crankcase is possible independently of the coolant flow in the cylinder heads.
  • Coolant circuit for an internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder crankcase with at least two opposite cylinder banks and associated cylinder heads, wherein the cylinder crankcase and the cylinder heads are beauzzibar via separate and mutually parallel partial circuits of the coolant circuit with coolant, the coolant through a coolant pump at least temporarily between a Main turbine and the cylinder heads and / or the cylinder crankcase can be circulated and wherein in the cylinder crankcase partial circuit at least one check valve is arranged, which allows a coolant flow through the cylinder banks only from the inlet side to the outlet side.
  • the cylinder crankcase has a single coolant jacket which surrounds the two cylinder banks, so that in principle an coolant exchange between the cylinder banks is possible at any time during an induced coolant movement.
  • each cylinder bank is acted upon by its own cylinder crankcase flow with coolant, which is again discharged via a common cylinder crankcase return, wherein in the cylinder crankcase headers each a check valve is arranged, the only a flow of coolant from the cylinder crankcase heats the cylinder banks in the cylinder crankcase return allows. If the separate cylinder crankcase headers equipped with their own check valves that allow only a flow of coolant from the headers in the common return, coolant, which due to the coolant movement in the cylinder head partial circuit, for example, on a cylinder crankcase flow inlet no longer occur at the opposite cylinder crankcase flow and thus provide a cross flow between the parallel cylinder banks.
  • the cylinder crankcase return is preferably taken from the coolant jacket at a location of the cylinder crankcase which ensures a uniform flow around the cylinder chambers.
  • the coolant flow in the cylinder crankcase return from a first control valve is adjustable.
  • the first control valve By the first control valve, the cylinder crankcase partial circuit, preferably in the warm-up phase, be shut off to achieve rapid heating of the cylinder crankcase.
  • the first control valve is designed as a continuously variable control valve, so that a continuous adjustment of the coolant temperature in the cylinder crankcase is possible.
  • the first control valve arranged in the cylinder crankcase return line can thus generate "stagnant" coolant in the cylinder crankcase, if required, without creating cross flows between the cylinder banks.
  • each cylinder head has its own cylinder head lead and own cylinder head return, wherein the cylinder crankcase headers and the cylinder head headers at a branch point downstream of the coolant pump from a common flow section split and wherein the cylinder crankcase return and the cylinder head returns at a junction downstream of the first control valve in a common return section are merged again.
  • the cylinder heads assigned to the cylinder banks of the cylinder crankcase form structurally separate units and are therefore supplied centrally and in parallel with coolant from the coolant pump in the cylinder head subcircuit through its own cylinder head headers and cylinder head returns.
  • the cylinder head foreruns branch together with the cylinder crankcase pre-runs at a branch point from a common flow section having the coolant pump.
  • the coolant flows from the cylinder head recirculation and the central cylinder crankcase return flow after flowing through the corresponding subcircuits and the components contained therein at a junction again in a common return section together.
  • the common return section leads on the input side to the main heat exchanger, while the common flow section on the opposite side on the output side of the main heat exchanger.
  • a second control valve is arranged in the common flow section between the main heat exchanger and coolant pump, in addition to a branch of the common return section, bypassing the main heat exchanger, opens. Due to the branch, the main heat exchanger can be bypassed if necessary with appropriate position of the second control valve. In this so-called bypass mode, a coolant flow in the cylinder heads, and in dependence of the first control valve in the cylinder crankcase, is possible without the heated coolant is cooled in the main heat exchanger. This allows a particularly rapid and uniform heating of the internal combustion engine at an elevated temperature level.
  • the second control valve may direct the coolant through the main heat exchanger by closing the branch.
  • a second control valve in this case is preferably a continuously controllable control valve and more preferably a map thermostat, which can be energized when needed for map change.
  • the coolant circuit described does not extend exclusively to the examples set forth; in particular, further heat exchangers can be added as desired in further sub-circuits.
  • connection of a known ventilation system is provided with a surge tank to the coolant circuit.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a coolant circuit according to the invention.
  • a coolant circuit 1 for an internal combustion engine 2 has a main heat exchanger 8 for heat exchange between the surrounding air flowing around it and the coolant flowing through it from the coolant circuit 1, and a coolant pump 7 for generating a coolant circulation in the coolant circuit 1.
  • the internal combustion engine 2 consists essentially from a cylinder crankcase 3, which contains the displacements of the working cylinder in two parallel and opposite cylinder banks 3a and 3b and is penetrated by a single coolant jacket, and the cylinder banks 3a and 3b associated cylinder heads 4a and 4b, which are essentially the gas exchange devices for accommodate the working cylinder and also penetrated by a coolant jacket.
  • the coolant jackets of the cylinder heads 4a and 4b and the cylinder crankcase 3 are not internally fluidly connected, but incorporated into separate and mutually parallel partial circuits 5 and 6 of the coolant circuit 1.
  • each cylinder head 4a and 4b, as well as each cylinder bank 3a and 3b of the cylinder crankcase 3 via its own flow connection 6a and 5a, which can be acted upon by a coolant flow pump 7 containing the common flow section 14 with coolant.
  • the cylinder crankcase 3 has a single cylinder crankcase return 5 b, which arises from the filled by the cylinder crankcase forerunning 5a coolant jacket of the cylinder crankcase 3.
  • the cylinder heads 4a and 4b have their own cylinder head returns 6b, which meet at a junction 13 with the cylinder crankcase return 5b and merge into the common return section 15.
  • the common return section 15 extends to the input side of the main heat exchanger 8, while the common flow section 14 from the output side of the main heat exchanger 8 springs.
  • the common flow section 14 contains, in addition to the central coolant pump 7, a second control valve 11 arranged upstream of the coolant pump 7, which is additionally contacted by a branch 16 branching off from the common return section 15, bypassing the main heat exchanger 8.
  • the second control valve 11 is designed as an energizable map thermostat, which closes the branch 16 in response to variable by means of energizationdeffentemperaturschwell tone and passes the coolant through the main heat exchanger 8. Otherwise, the coolant is passed via the branch 16 on the main heat exchanger 8 to the coolant pump 7.
  • the cylinder crankcase return 5b is a, designed as a continuously variable ball valve, first control valve 10 through which the cylinder crankcase return 5b is shut off if necessary.
  • the cylinder crankcase headers 5a are located at the beginning of the cylinder banks 3a and 3b check valves that allow only a flow of coolant from the cylinder crankcase advances 5a in the direction of the cylinder crankcase return 5b.
  • a quantity of coolant entering one of the two cylinder banks 3a or 3b through one of the cylinder crankcase forerunners 5a may have a corresponding amount of coolant on the opposite cylinder bank 3b or 3a do not push back again into the respective cylinder crankcase flow 5a.
  • An undesirable transverse flow between the cylinder banks 3a and 3b is thus prevented.
  • a heating circuit 17 with a heating heat exchanger 18 therein for heating ambient air for a vehicle interior departing the upstream of the coolant pump 7 and downstream of the second control valve 11 opens into the common flow section 14 again.
