BERNARDSVILLE, NEW JERSEY coomne SYSTEM FOR INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINES Application filed March 2, 1927. Serial No. 172,081.
The object of our invention is to provide a novel vapor cooling system for internal combustion. engines, especially automobile engines, whichsystem is capable of quickly obtaining and thereafter maintaining the engine 'cooling medium at a high temperature in the engine cylinder jacket for ensuring the most .efiicient and economical operation of the engine. 1 s
This system includes a liquid reservoir, a condenser and an engine cylinder jacket in intercommunication; means being rovided for circulating the liquid through t e reservoir and for maintaining the liquid at a predetermined level in the reservoir so that the liquid may, by the action of gravity, be maintained at about a predetermined level in the cylinder jacket under normal operating conditions, thus avoiding the circulation of the liquid, through the jacket, this result being obtained by providing a liquid overflow outlet for the reservoir located at a predetermined height above its bottom and also by properly fixingthe height of the reservoir with respect to the top of the cylinder jacket and means such as a pump driven from the engine for raising the liquid which overflows from the reservoir, and the liquid of c0ndensation, into the reservoir.
Practical embodiments of our invention are represented in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 represents one embodiment partly in side elevation and partly in section.
Fig. 2 represents a similar view of another embodiment.
F igx3 represents a similar view of a third embodiment.
or approved construction. In the present instance we have shown the condenser as comprising an upper chamber 3 and a lower chamber 4; connected by the usual cooling passages 5. The lower chamber 4: may also be provided with an uprising passage 6 acting bothyas an air escape and as a liquid overflow for the condenseix The upper chamber 3 of the condenser may be provided with the usual filling cap 7.
The reservoir for supplying the liquid required by the cylinder acket to replace that lost by evaporation is denoted by 8 and is so placed in reference to the cylinder jacket as to provide about the desired liquid level in the same. The reservoir may be provided with a filling cap 9. A liquid supply passage 10 for the cylinder jacket 1 leads from the bottom of the reservoir 8. A non-return valve 11 of any well known or approved form is provided in this passage 10 for preventing the pressure in the vapor space of the cylinder jacket from for-ding the liquid fed thereto, or
vapor generated therein, back through the lower chamber 4 of the condenser through suitable means such as an engine .driven pump 14, upwardly into the reservoir 8. i
In the form shown in Fig. 1, the liquid overflow passage 15, which is located at a predetermined height above the bottom of the reservoir, leads directly from the reservoir 8 into the upper chamber 3 of the condenser and preferably below the upper end of the liquid return passage 13. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the liquid overflow passage 16 leads from a similar point within the reservoir downwardly into the lower chamber 4 of the condenser. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the liquid overflow passage 16 instead of leading into the lower chamber 4 of the condenser, leads into the passage 13 which connects the lower chamber 1 of the condenser with the reservoir 8 through the liquid elevating pump 14. These are only three of many dilierent forms for bringing the overflow outlet of the reservolr into communication with the condenser on the intake side of the pump so that the pump will raise...
the reservoir overflow liquid and the liquid of condensation into the reservoir Without passing through the cylinder. jacket.
While we have shown an engine driven pump for raising the overflow and condensed liquid into the reservoir through the return passage 13, it is obvious that any means may e employed which will be operative for this pur ose.
If desired, the condenser-may be provided with a drain cock 17, the pump with a drain cock 18 and the cylinder jacket liquid supply pipe with a drain cock 19. Also the top of the cylinder jacket may be provided with a two-way safety valve denoted conventionally by 20, operable in case of a possible stoppage in any of the passages, In the forms shown in Figs. 2 and 3, equalization of pressure is provided for by communication between the reservoir 8 above its liquid level and anywhere in the vapor space, as for instance, by a passage 21 leading from said reservoir into the upper chamber 3 of the condenser.
In the form shown in Fig. 1, the overflow passage 15 serves for this purpose.
In operation: Presupposing the system to be su plied with the proper amount of liquid: hen the engine is started, the pump 14 will raise the liquid through the return passa e 13 into the reservoir 8. It will be seen t at this does not circulate through the cylinder jacket 1, but escapes through the overflow passage to the intake side of the pump either through the cqndenser as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 or directly to the return passage 13 as shown in Fig. 3. There being no circulation of the liquid through the cylinder jacket 1, the liquid in the jacket will become rapidly heated to the boiling point and the vapor therefrom will escape through the passage 12 into the upper chamber 3 of the condenser. This vapor will become condensed and the liquid of condensation, together with the reservoir overflow liquid, will e raised by the pump 14 back into the reservoir 8.
It will be understood that the reservoir should be so placed with respect to the cylinder jacket and that the overflow outlet in the reservoir should be so placed that the level of the cooling liquid in the reservoir will be such that it will maintain, by gravity, substantially, the desired level of the liquid in the cylinder jacket under normal operating conditions. Also this will preclude the return flow of liquid from the cylinder jacket through the vapor escape passage of the cylinder jacket. Furthermore, the overflow outlet will take care of any surplus liquid raised to the reservoir by the pump, returning the surplus liquid to the intake side of the pump to be again raised into the reservoir. This circulation of the excess liquid through the reservoir maintains a constant supply of liquid to replace, by gravity, the liquid lost from the cylinder jacket by evaporation. Thereby the circulation of liquid through the cylinder jacket is avoided.
It is evident that any suitable liquid may be employed and it is also evident that vari ous changes may be resorted to in the construction, form and arrangement of the several parts of the system without departing from the spirit and scope of our invention; hence, we do not wish to be limited to the particular embodiments herein shown and described, but
