Definitions
- a casing extends about an internal combustion engine cylinder to define an evaporator region containing a liquid subject to evaporation during engine heat transfer thereto; a heat exchanger structure receives vapor from the evaporator region for condensation and re turn to the latter; and an expansion chamber offset from the casing is in closed communication with the evaporator region via the heat exchanger structure, the chamber containing a non-condensable gas for the purpose of temperature control.
- This invention relates generally to the coolingof internal combustion engines. More specifically, it concerns the use of both liquid and gas for cooling engines, in a manner to provide a number of advantages.
- the invention is embodied in the combination, with an internal combustion engine combustion cylinder or cylinders, of a casing extending in proximity to the cylinder and defining with the latter an evaporator region adjacent a wall of the casing, the evaporator region containing a liquid subject to evaporation in response to heat transfer via the wall during engine operation; a passageway for vapor transport to a heat exchanger structure and condensate return to the evaporator region; a heat exchange surface wherein the heat of vaporization is rejected to air or another cooling fluid, causing the vapor to condense; and, an expansion chamber offset from the casing and in closed communication with the evaporator region via the heat exchanger structure, the chamber containing a non-condensable gas and normally not receiving vapor.
- Additional objects include the provision for return of the condensate to the heated surface at the engine either by capillary forces or by gravity; the provision of fine mesh screen or other means defining capillary passages carried by the engine cylinder and/or by the referenced passageway to provide capillary structure inducing the return flow of condensate; the adaptation of the invention to the cooling of a motorcycle engine in such manner that the overall size of the engine structure beneath the operator may be substantially reduced; the location of the heat exchanger surface proximate the fuel tank or other portions of the motorcycle structure, in unusually advantageous manner; and the substantial reduction in sizing of the overall engine cylinder structure and associated cooling surfaces.
- FIG. 1 is a vertical section showing one preferred form of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a perspective showing of a vehicle, as for example a motorcycle, to which the invention is applied;
- FIG. 3 is a view like FIG. 2 showing another adaptation to a motorcycle
- FIG. 4 is a view like FIG. 2 showing a modified adaptation to a motorcycle
- FIG. 5 is a graph of wall temperature at different locations, during engine operation, and cooling.
- FIG. 6 is another graph.
- an internal combustion engine 10 includes a metallic cylinder 11 and a piston 16 reciprocable therein, forming a combustion zone 12.
- a spark plug in the cylinder head 11a is indicated at 13, and suitable connecting rod and crankshaft components at 14 and 15.
- the cylinder and head may be two or more separate parts.
- the illustrated engine is of two-stroke cycle design, characterized in that the cylinder has a side wall with staggered ports 16a and 17. The former admits a combustible fuel-air mixture, to the combustion chamber on the piston up-stroke, and port 17 releases exhaust gas to the exterior on the piston down stroke.
- the transfer ports are not shown.
- a casing or jacket as for example that shown at 18, extends in proximity to the cylinderv and an evaporator region 19 is provided between the casing and cylinder.
- the casing surrounds the cylinder and extends thereover; for maximum heat transfer to the cylindrical evaporator region 19a formed between the casing side wall 18b and cylinder side wall 11b, and to the upper evaporator region 19b formed between the casing top 18a and cylinder head 11a.
- the hot exhaust fitting or duct 20 forming port 17 bridges the cylindrical evaporator region.
- the lowermost extent of the cylindrical evaporator region 1911 extending below duct 20 (which may enclose part or all of 'the crank case for cooling thereof) contains liquid 21 subject to evaporation as a result of heat transfer as described, during operation of the engine.
- an expansion chamber is provided at 22 and a heat exchanger at 23a which may beeither in relatively remotely spaced relation from the casing or closely coupled to the casing and in closed communication with the evaporator region, as for example via a duct or ducting 23.
- the expansion chamber contains a non-condensable gas 24 (gas which does not condense over all operating conditions of the engine).
- the vapor produced by evaporation in zone 19 flows through 'passage 23 to the heat exchanger 23a.
- the heat exchanger may comprise a single tube with fins 26, on the cooling fluid side, or it may consist of many tubes with multiple fins connected to the passage 23,'or it may comprise other suitable fluid to fluid heat exchanger geometry.
- the heat of condensation is removed from the vapor by the cooling fluid (such as circulating air) causing the vapor to condense on the inner walls.
- the liquid condensate on such walls flows back to the evaporator section 19, under the influence of gravity or capillary forces produced by capillary structure to be described.
- the fraction of the heat exchanger passage available to heat transfer is determined by the volume of the uncooled" chamber 22,
- Capillary means may, with unusual advantage, be provided within the ducting to conduct and otherwise aid such condensate return flow.
- One suitable type of capillary structure is fine mesh metallic screen 28 spot welded to the metal surfaces or otherwise self supported. Another consists of screen installed over wires which provide a greater interstitial liquid flow area. Still another consists of small passages in the wall covered with screen. Capillary forces act in aid of gravity in returning condensate to the evaporator region, the condensate flowing close to the walls of the duct so as to be shielded from the drag forces associated with vapor flow in the duct toward chamber 22.
- capillary structure may likewise be applied or built in directly to the cylinder and/or head as at 28a to cause liquid flow against gravity from the bottom of the casing 18 to the sides and top of the cylinde and in the case of other engine types to any part of the engine.
- the broken outline 40 indicates the usual engine fin structure extent, illustrating the dramatic reduction in cylinder and head dimensions achieved by the invention.
- FIG. 2 indicates an application of the invention to a multicylinder motorcycle 41, the engine cylinder casing being shown at 18c. and corresponding to casing 18 i in FIG. 1, but enclosing three cylinders instead of one. Elimination of engine fins creates vertical space at 42, enabling the fuel tank 43 to have greater depth. increasing ,fuel capacity and lowering the motorcycle center of gravity.
- the air heat exchanger structure 26a (corresponding to fins 26 in FIG. 1) is located for example forward of the casing 18c, as is the expansion chamber 22a.
- FIG. 3 shows another application of the invention to a single cylinder motorcycle 50.
- the casing 18d surrounding the cylinder and head is connected via duct 23b with heat exchanger structure 22c of which expansion chamber 22b is a part.
- Ducting 23b (corresponding to duct 23 in FIG. 1) may be flexible. This location of the heat exchanger structure, behind the upper extent of the front wheel fender 58, ensures isolation from mud and dirt thrown by the front wheel, preventing fouling.
- FIG. 4 shows application of the invention to a rotary piston engine, as for example of Wankel design.
- a casing extends about a cylinder 81 but is spaced therefrom to form an evaporator region 82 corresponding to region 19 described above.
- the lowermost extent 82a of that region contains liquid 84 subject to evaporation during engine operation.
- An expansion chamber, not shown is in communication with the upper extent 82b of the evaporator region as via a duct 83.
- Capillary structure, as for example mesh, is indicated at 8688 lining the duct 83 and extending over the walls of the casing and cylinder, as shown.
- a generally triangular rotor 91 rotates in the cylinder and in relation to a combustible mixture inlet port 89 and an exhaust port 90.
- Typical liquids 21 and 84 include water or Dow- Therm A, and typical non-condensable gases as at 24 include air, nitrogen and Argon.
- a casing extending in proximity to the cylinder and defining therewith a common evaporator region adjacent both said wall and head and containing a cv an expansion chamber relatively offset from both the casing and heat exchanger structure and in closed communication with said evaporator region solely via said heat exchanger structure, the chamber closed to the exterior and containing a sufficient volume of non-condensable gas that the temperature of the cylinder wall remains substantially constant during engine operation.
- capillary structure comprises a mesh screen carried by the duct, and located therein.
- said ducting includes a horizontal section, and a vertical section extending to said expansion chamber and carrying integral cooling fins, the expansion chamber located above the level of all said fins, the volume of the expansion chamber substantially exceeding that of the heat exchanger interior passage means.
