Description

Cylinder head
The invention relates to a cylinder head of a reciprocating engine.
In large diesel engines the fuel injector is disposed in the injector sleeve, which, in turn, is disposed in a bore in the cylinder head. The fuel injector and 5 the injector sleeve are cooled by cooling liquid which is fed into a cooling liquid space surrounding the injector sleeve. Typically the lower and upper portions of the injector sleeve are attached to the cylinder head by shrink-fit connections such that the cooling liquid space is between the connections. The shrink-fit connections prevent leakage of cooling liquid from the cooling liquid 10 space.
During the engine operation the cylinder head deflection due to firing pressure can cause relative movements between the cylinder head and the injector sleeve especially in the lower shrink-fit connection, in which the thermal expansion reduces the initial press force. These movements may result in the 15 fretting at the contact area of the lower shrink-fit connection, which can cause cooling liquid leakages into the fuel injector housing.
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved cylinder head for a reciprocating engine.
The object of the present invention can be achieved by a cylinder head accord-20 ing to claim 1.
C\J
° The cylinder head according to the invention comprises a body having a bore ? for receiving an injector sleeve, in which a fuel injector can be inserted, an in- oj jector sleeve inserted in the bore, and a cooling liquid space surrounding the I injector sleeve. The injector sleeve comprises a lower portion that is below the g 25 cooling liquid space and an upper portion that is above the cooling liquid 5 space. The upper portion is attached to the body. An annular seal is arranged o between the lower portion of the injector sleeve and the body and the lower portion of the injector sleeve is mechanically uncoupled from the body.
2
According to the invention the upper part of the injector sleeve is attached to the body of the cylinder head and the lower portion of the injector sleeve is mechanically uncoupled from the body. The connection of the upper portion keeps the injector sleeve in its position in the bore and the lower portion of the 5 injector sleeve can freely follow the movements of the cylinder head as the combustion pressure deflects the cylinder head lower part (i.e. flame plate). The annular seal prevents cooling liquid leakages from the cooling liquid space. Like this, a reliable sealing arrangement can be accomplished. Additionally, the design according to the invention can be used both in new cylinder 10 heads and as a repair solution in old ones.
In the following the invention will be described by way of an example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a cross sectional view of a cylinder head according to an embodiment of the invention, 15 Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of cylinder head of fig. 1 with an injector inserted in an injector sleeve, and
Fig.3 is an enlargement of a Fig.2 detail.
The drawing shows a cylinder head 1 of a reciprocating engine. The engine is a large diesel engine, which can be used as a main and/or an auxiliary engine 20 in ships and/or in power plants for generation of electricity and/or heat. The ^ engine is a medium speed, four-stroke engine. The maximum rotational speed
C\J
^ of the engine is 300-1200 rpm. Cylinders 7 of the engine can be arranged in a single bank or in two banks in a V-configuration. Typically, the engine has 6-20
CNJ
cylinders. The cylinder bore is typically 16-64 cm. Each cylinder is provided cr 25 with a separate cylinder head 1. o 5 The cylinder head 1 comprises a body 2 having a lower surface 3 that forms o an upper surface of a combustion chamber 7 of the cylinder. The body 2 is provided with a bore 4 for receiving an injector sleeve 5, in which a fuel injector 6 can be inserted. The injector sleeve 5 is inserted in the bore 4. The fuel in 3 jector 6 is inserted in the injector sleeve 5. The fuel injector 6 is mechanically uncoupled from the injector sleeve 5. The internal diameter of the sleeve 5 is greater than the external diameter of the injector 5. The fuel injector 6 faces the inner surface of the injector sleeve.
5 The body 2 comprises a cooling liquid space 8 for cooling liquid. The cooling liquid space 8 can be implemented in the form of a cooling water jacket, a cavity or a cooling channel. The cooling liquid space 8 surrounds the injector sleeve 5. The injector sleeve 5 comprises a lower portion 9 that is below the cooling liquid space 8. Further, the injector sleeve has an upper portion 10 that 10 is above the cooling liquid space 8. The lower portion 9 of the injector sleeve is below the lowermost edge between the cooling liquid space 8 and the bore 4. The upper portion 10 is above the uppermost edge between the cooling liquid space 8 and the bore 4. In case the body 2 comprises two or more cooling liquid spaces that surround the injector sleeve 5, the lower portion of the injector 15 sleeve is below the lowermost cooling liquid space and the upper portion above the uppermost cooling liquid space.
An upper portion 10 of the injector sleeve 5 is attached to the body 2. The upper portion 10 can be attached to the body 2 by a shrink fit. The lower portion 9 of the injector sleeve is mechanically uncoupled from the body 2. An annular 20 seal 13, for example an O-ring, is arranged between the lower portion 9 of the injector sleeve and the body 2. The annular seal 13 is arranged between the outer diameter of injector sleeve 5 and the bore 4. The annular seal 13 pre-
CVJ
^ vents cooling liquid leakages from the cooling liquid space 8 into the injector
C\J
^ housing. The annular seal 13 can be made of perfluoroelastomer (FFKM).
^ 25 Thus, the annular seal 13 can be used in high temperature conditions, up to
CVJ
270*C . The outer surface of the injector sleeve 5 comprises an annular groove
CC
“ 14, in which the annular seal 13 is placed. The annular groove 14 is in flow o connection with the cooling liquid space 8 through a gap 15 between the injec- 5 ™ tor sleeve 5 and the body 2. With this solution the annular seal 13 stays wet, o ^ 30 which increases its lifetime. The portion of the injector sleeve 5, which is below the annular seal 13, is mechanically uncoupled from the body 2.
4
The bore 3 comprises an annular shoulder 16, to which a lower end 11 of the injector sleeve is supported. Also the fuel injector 6 is supported to the annular shoulder 16. A sealing ring 17 is arranged between the annular shoulder 16 and the fuel injector 6. The sealing ring 17 prevents the entering of combustion 5 gases into the injector sleeve 5.
A clearance 18 is provided between the bore wall and the lower portion 9 of the injector sleeve. The clearance 18 enables the movements of the injector sleeve 5 in relation to the body 2 during the engine operation. The size of the clearance in engine working conditions is at most 40 pm. In installation condi-10 tions there can be a slight interference between the lower portion of injector sleeve and the bore. In the engine working conditions (temperature) the temperature difference between the injector sleeve and the bore is such that the bore 4 is expanding more than the injector sleeve 5 and no interference exists. Drive fit H7/m6 can be used between the body and the lower portion 9 of the 15 injector sleeve. The clearance is provided between the body 2 and the injector sleeve portion that is below the annular seal 13.
The edge between the cooling liquid space and the lower portion of the bore is provided with a chamfer 19. The dimensions of the chamfer 19 can be 2x20Q.
