This water is removed and expelled through the transom.
10 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures Patented Sept. 18, 1973 4 7. I'll 1 wwmw wv/ Vlwllllljldw/lv V EXHAUST WATER SEPARATOR FOR MARINE ENGINES BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a cooling system for a marine propulsion system wherein cooling water is discharged into the exhaust.
In constructions heretofore employed, cooling water has been forced to completely follow the path of the engine exhaust. In an effort to relive the resultant back pressure on the engine, pressure relief holes have been provided to allow early escape of the water and exhaust mixture.
' It has been found that the flow characteristics of the exhaust may vary between systems and at different speeds of a single system. As a result, often primarily exhaust gases escape through the pressure relief holes and effectiveness in relieving back pressure is reduced.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides means for removing and expelling a substantial portion of the water from the exhaust system which is effective at any speed. There is provided an arcuate exhaust elbow which causes the water to be thrown to the outside of the elbow by centrifugal force. A water separator is provided at the end of the arcuate elbow which removes and expels the water flowing along the outside of the elbow. Thus, it is assured that the majority of the water is removed and not forced through the outboard drive unit.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The accompanying drawing illustrates the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out the invention.
In the drawing:
FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded view of the propulsion system of this invention with parts in section.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged elevation of the water separator.
FIG. 3 is a section view along lines 3-3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged section view generally along lines 4-4 of FIG. 1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a marine internal combustion engine having exhaust manifolds 11 and manifold elbows 12. The engine is carried in a boat, the transom of which is indicated by 14. An outboard drive unit 15 is also carried by the boat transom l4 and is drivingly connected in a conventional manner to the engine 10. Two exhaust elbows 16 are provided, each being attached to the respective manifold elbow 12. The exhaust elbows 16 are arcuate in shape and are attached at one of their ends by a water separator 18. interposed between the end of each exhaust elbow l6 and the water separator 18 is a flapper valve 20 which serves to prevent back flow of water through the exhaust system.
The water separator 18 includesexhaust inlet passages 21, an exhaust outlet passage 22, and water outlet passages 23. The rear face 34 of the water separator 18 is connected in a conventional manner to the front face 35 of the bottom portion of the gimbal housing 36 such that water passage 23 in the water separator 18 align with water passages 38 in the gimbal housing 36. Water passages 38 are in turn connected to a water outlet 39 which expels the water back into the lake.
Passage means for passing exhaust gases from the engine to an exhaust outlet are provided which are formed through the elbows 16, valve 20, separator 18, bellows 26, drive unit 15, and propeller 28. The direction of travel of the exhaust is indicated by arrows 25. Exhaust flows from the'engine into the manifold 11, through the manifold elbows 12, the exhaust elbows 16, the flapper valves 20, the exhaust inlet passages 21, the exhaust outlet passage 22, the exhaust bellows 26, internal exhaust passages (not shown), in the outboard drive unit 15, through the propeller 28, and out the exhaust outlet 29 in the propeller 28.
Water is dumped from the engine block through hoses 30 into cooling passages (not shown) in the exhaust manifolds. The cooling water is then mixed with the exhaust at or near the outlet 32 of the manifold elbows 12 in general accordance with the description in US. Pat. No. 3,541,786 entitled Inboard Marine Engine Cooling System. The exhaust is sufficiently cooled by the water to prevent damage to the flexible material of the exhaust elbows 12, the flapper valve 20, the exhaust bellows 26, and the flexible hub of the propeller 28.
However, it has been found that forcing the water and exhaust gas mixture through the rather tortuous path of the exhaust bellows 26, the exhaust passages in the outboard drive unit 15, and the hub of the propeller 28 creates undesirable back pressure on the exhaust of engine 10. Thus, it is desirable to remove as much of the water as possible prior to the bellows 26 and the outboard drive unit 15. It has been found that the mere provision of an exhaust relief outlet is not completely satisfactory to accomplish this purpose, since at some engine speeds the water may flow through the exhaust passage means in an area away from the exahust relief. This-results in primarily exhaust escaping through the relif and is not as effective for relieving back pressure.
In the present invention there are provided arcuately formed exhaust elbows 16 which result in the water being forced by centrifugal action to the outside wall of the elbows 16. The water which is forced to the outside of the exhaust elbows 16 is collected at the bottom of the water separator 18 by the combined effects of centrifugal action and gravity. The water meets a raised wall portion 41 in the water separator 18 and is forced through water passage 23 into water passages 38 and expelled through water outlets 39.
The water separator 18 includes a pair of arcuate internal walls 43 to aid in turning the exahust at right angles and promote smooth flow of the exhaust gases.
It is apparent that many modifications and variations of the invention as hereinbefore set forth may be made without departing from the scope and spirit hereof.
