Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to piston engines and more particularly to fluid distribution elements for piston engines.
  • the present disclosure further concerns pistons engines equipped with such fluid distribution elements.
  • Piston engines often require multiple different types of fluids to be provided to the vicinity of each cylinder.
  • the physical size of the engines result in that a complex arrangement of piping or tubing is required for conducting these fluids to the cylinders along a cylinder bank.
  • the fluid distribution element has multiple fluid ducts corresponding to the respective fluids to be provided.
  • the fluid distribution element is provided to the engine assembly so as to extend along the side of engine.
  • the fluid distribution element is further provided with fluid outlets conveniently located near the associated cylinders, thereby simplifying the required piping associated to the fluids concerned.
  • Such segments have typically been manufactured by casting metal in order to achieve a structure capable of withstanding vibrations associated to piston engines, as well as ensuring secure coupling between the outlet and subsequent piping in such a highly vibrating environment.
  • fluid distribution elements have been composed of a plurality of cast segments attached one after another, because a single-piece cast has generally been considered unfeasible due to the requirement of multiple different variants of such fluid distribution elements corresponding to different types of engines - each having their own distinctive related dimension, which in turn, would require a separate mould for each variant.
  • known fluid distribution elements have been manufactures by casting separate segments, subsequently attached one after another in the longitudinal direction of the engine (i.e. crankshaft direction) in order to form the whole fluid distribution element.
  • the number of segments used corresponds to the number of cylinders in a respective cylinder bank of the associated engine.
  • the segments are provided with outlets communicating with the fluid ducts.
  • An object of the present disclosure is to provide piston engine comprising a fluid distribution element having a simple construction, enabling it to be easily manufactured as configured for different types of piston engines having various dimensions, i.e. made-to-measure, while ensuring fluid-tightness of the ducts even in high vibration conditions.
  • the disclosure is based on the idea of providing separate longitudinal profile pieces arranged side-by-side so as to define the fluid channels of the fluid distribution element.
  • An advantage of the disclosure is that profile pieces may easily be configured for different lengths and dimensions, thus contributing for greater versatility with respect to configuring the fluid distribution element for different types of engines having various respective dimensions.
  • a fluid distribution element 1 for a piston engine such as a reciprocating internal combustion engine
  • the fluid distribution element has at least two longitudinal parallel fluid channels 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d adjacent to each other.
  • Each of the fluid channels comprises an inlet 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, and, for at least one cylinder in an associated bank of the respective piston engine, an outlet 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d for providing fluid communication between the fluid channel and a respective cylinder head.
  • each of the fluid channels 2a, 2b, 2c 2d may comprise, for each cylinder in an associated bank of the respective piston engine, an outlet 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d. That is, for example, fluid channel 2a may have a number of outlets 4a corresponding to the number of cylinders in the associated bank of the respective piston engine.
  • each or any of the fluid channels 2a, 2b, 2c 2d may comprise, for each cylinder in an associated bank of the respective piston engine, multiple outlets 4a, 4a', 4b, 4c, 4d. That is, for example, fluid channel 2a may have a number of outlets 4a, 4a' corresponding to twice the number of cylinders in the associated bank of the respective piston engine.
  • the fluid channels are defined by separate longitudinal profile pieces 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d arranged side-by-side, i.e. laterally with respect to their longitudinal directions.
  • profile pieces 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d are arranged one above another, when in use, Moreover, adjacent profile pieces are adjoined by welding, so as to form at least two closed cross-sectional profiles defining the at least two fluid channels, respectively.
  • a fixture arrangement 6 is also provided for fixing the fluid distribution element to the respective piston engine.
  • the fixture arrangement may be provided as side plate attached to an outermost (preferably lowermost, when in use) profile piece 5d so that portions of the side plate extend outwardly with respect to the profile piece 5d in both lateral directions, i.e. sideways, when in use..

  • adjacent profiles pieces are adjoined by laser welding along longitudinal seams 7ab, 7bc, 7cd between said profiles.
  • At least one of the longitudinal profile pieces is a U-profile piece.
  • an open portion of a U-profile is adjoined against a closed portion of an adjacent profile piece, or a side plate 6.
  • U-profile pieces may be adjoined side-by-side, such that an open portion of a U-profile piece is adjoined against a closed portion of an adjacent U-profile piece, and an open portion of an outermost U-profile piece is adjoined against a side plate 6.

  • the distance between the first and last cylinder may be regarded as the minimum distance between said cylinders.
  • the distance between the first and last cylinder may be regarded as the distance between the centre axes of said cylinders.
  • the inlets 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d of the fluid channels 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d are provided on either, or both, of the longitudinal end of the fluid distribution element.
