Definitions
- a cooling system with a liquid cooling medium for cooling the housing of a rotary piston internal combustion engine especially of trochoidal construction, which consists of at least one casing, of end parts and possibly of one or several intermediate parts, in which the cooling system consists of at least two cooling circulations which are completely separated from one another; the cooling media of the two cooling circulations may thereby have different temperatures.
- FIGI COOLING SYSTEM FOR THE COOLING OF THE HOUSING OF A ROTARY PISTON INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE as well as of the intermediate and end parts changes only slightly and that the gas-tightness between the individual housing parts is considerably improved. This gas-tightness cannot be assured in the prior art cooling
- the present invention relates to a cooling system 5 systems since none of the customary elastic seals can be with a liquid cooling medium for purposes of cooling a housing consisting at least of a casing, of end parts and possibly of one or several intermediate parts of a rotary piston internal combustion engine, especially of trochoidal type of construction.
- Such types of prior art cooling systems consist of one cooling circulation which especially in rotary piston internal combustion engines with several disks, represents a widely extended and branched system. Since in a rotary piston internal combustion engine, in contrast, for example, to a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine, the heat yield, i.e., the amount of heat produced is very different in the individual areas, the cooling system has to be matched very carefully. Thus, throttling places for the cooling medium are installed in order to supply the individual areas with different quantities of cooling medium. This entails the disadvantage that the cooling medium pump has to be dimensioned very large and that it possesses a very high input power. Notwithstanding a careful matching, however, local overheatings cannot be avoided by reason of an unfavorable distribution of the cooling medium or by reason of inadequate venting.
- the present invention is concerned with the task to avoid the aforementioned shortcomings.
- the underlying problems are solved according to the present invention in that the cooling system consists of at least two completely separate cooling circulatory systems.
- the cooling medium quantities in each cooling medium circulation are considerably smaller than if only one single cooling circulation were present. Throttling places are not necessary in the cooling system, and the matching of 'the cooling system is considerably facilitated. Also, the small cooling medium quantity in each cooling circulatory system brings about a very rapid heat-up of the cooling medium after a cold start.
- the cooling system is further improved according to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention in that the cooling media of the difi'erent cooling circulatory systems have differently high temperatures.
- the cooling media may thereby consist of different substances depending on the temperature.
- the cooling system is further improved according to the present invention in that the cooling media of the different cooling circulatory systems cool different areas of the housing having differing heat yield or heat production. These differing heat quantities can be conducted away either by differing cooling medium quantities or with the aid of different cooling medium temperatures if a cooling circulatory system with lower cooling medium temperature is consequently coordinated to an area of the housing with higher heat yield.
- the temperature of the hottest cooling medium is selected sufficiently high, heat can be given off from the cooling medium to the housing in individual, particularly cool areas of the housing.
- the housing assumes everywhere an approximately equal temperature which also signifies a uniform housing expansion.
- the cooling medium of one cooling circulatory system enters the housing at the place of the area to be cooled where the largest heat quantity of this area is produced or in proximity 15 thereof, and leaves at the place with lowest heat yield or in proximity thereof.
- the temperature of the housing can thus be kept approximately the same also at the individual places of an area since the entering relatively cool cooling water absorbs a larger amount of heat then the already heated discharged cooling water.
- the cooling system of this invention may consist of two cooling circulations with differing temperatures, of which the cooler cooling circulation flows through the area of the casing opposite the inlet and outlet channel whereas the hotter cooling medium flows through the adjacent area of the casing adjoining in the direction of the piston up to the area of the inlet channel or therebeyond up to the area in which the combustion gases are present during the beginning of the suction cycle.
- the cooler cooling medium thus cools the area with the greatest heat yield, therefore that area in which the combustion gases give off heat to the casing at the end of the compression and during the combustion whereas 0 the hotter cooling medium cools the area of the casing inclusive the outlet channel in which the combustion gases give off heat during the expansion and exhaust cycle.
- the cooling media of the two cooling circulations enter into the casing at adjacent places of the two areas, then they cool at first the hottest places of the rotary piston internal combustion engine; namely, the vicinity thereof in which the combustion gases are present at the beginning of the expansion cycle, and then flow toward the coolest places for the respective areas thereof.
- the cooling medium may additionally flow through the housing end parts and possibly the housing intermediate parts in those areas which directly adjoin the area disposed within the casing and traversed by the same, whereas the hotter cooling medium flows through the areas of the end parts and possibly of the intermediate parts adjoining these areas in the direction toward the center longitudinal axis of the rotary piston internal combustion engine.
- the areas traversed by the cooler cooling medium are thus disposed, as viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the rotary piston internal combustion engine, all one behind the other so that the inlet and outlet of the cooling medium is particularly simple.
- the heating medium of the vehicle heater can be heated up in an advantageous manner by the hottest cooling medium whereby the heating effect commences particularly rapidly and intensively.
- Another object of the present invention resides in a cooling system for cooling the housing of a rotary piston internal combustion engine in which not only the cooling medium pump does not have to be selected very large, but also the difficulties in matching the cooling system to the local, individual requirements is farreachingly dispensed with.
- a further object of the present invention resides in a cooling system for cooling the housing of a rotary piston internal combustion engine, particularly of trochoidal construction, which effectively avoids local overheating by the use of at least two completely separate cooling circulations.
- Still a further object of the present invention resides in a cooling system for cooling the housing of a rotary piston internal combustion engine which obviates the need for throttling places as well as complicated designs of the passages for the cooling medium.
- Still another object of the present invention resides in a cooling system for rotary piston internal combustion engines which also improves the heat-up of the cooling medium after a cold start.
- a further object of the present invention resides in a cooling system for rotary piston internal combustion engines in which the different cooling circulations cool different areas of the housing with differing heat yield so as to optimize the cooling effect and match it to the local requirements.
- a further object of the present invention resides in a cooling system for a rotary piston internal combustion engine which assures uniform thermal expansion of the housing as well as improved gas-tightness between individual housing parts.
- Another object of the present invention resides in a cooling system for rotary piston internal combustion engines which also improves the heating effect of the heater of the motor vehicle.

- FIG. 2 is a similar cross-sectional view through an end portion of the same rotary piston internal combustion engine in accordance with the present invention.
- the casing l of FIG. 1 is delimited toward the inside thereof by a two-arched trochoidal running surface 2, along which slides the rotating piston 4 with its piston corners 5 in the direction of arrow 3.
- An inlet channel 6 and an exhaust channel 7 are arranged in the casing 1 along one longitudinal side.
- An aperture 8 for a spark plug (not shown) is provided in the casing 1 along the oppositely disposed longitudinal side while an aperture 9 for an injection nozzle (not shown) is provided between the aperture 8 for the spark plug and the inlet channel 6.
- Through-passage openings 10 for tie rods are provided distributed over the circumference which hold together the individual housing parts.
- the casing l is cooled by cooling media of different temperatures flowing in two cooling circulatory systems completely separate from one another.

- the opening 8 for the spark plug is surrounded by the cooling chamber 11.
- the inlet channel 12 into the cooling chamber 11 is located at the end thereof, as viewed in the direction of rotation 3 of the piston 4, whereas the outlet channel 13 is disposed at the other end so that the cooling medium flows through the cooling chamber 11 opposite the direction of rotation 3 of the piston 4.
- a cooling chamber 14 of the second cooling circulatory system whose cooling medium has a temperature of, for example, C., adjoins the cooling chamber 11 in the direction of rotation 3 of the piston 4 and extends up to the inlet channel 6 whereby it surrounds the exhaust channel 7.
- the inlet channel 15 into the cooling chamber 14 is disposed in proximity to the inlet channel 12 of the other cooling chamber 11 whereas the outlet channel 16 is disposed in proximity of the inlet channel 6.
- the continuation of this outlet channel 16 is represented by the channel 28 in the end part 17 (FIG. 2) and possibly in the intermediate parts.
- the cooling medium of the two cooling circulations thus enter into the cooling chambers 11 and 14 within an area in which the combustion gases have the highest temperature and in which the largest heat quantity is thus produced, and flow in the cooling chambers 11 and 14 toward those places in which the smallest heat quantity for the corresponding areas to be cooled is produced.
- cooling chambers 18 and 19 which belong to the same cooling circulations as the cooling chambers 11 and 14, respectively.
- the cooling chamber 18 traversed by the cooler cooling medium is disposed directly adjacent the cooling chamber 1 l of the casing I so that all cooling chambers l1, l8 belonging to this cooling circulation are arranged approximately aligned one behind the other as viewed in the direction of the center longitudinal axis 20 (FIG. 2) of the rotary piston internal combustion engine.
- the same is also true for the inlet channels 21 and outlet channels 22 in relation to the inlet channels 12 and the outlet channels 13 in the casing l.
- a very simple guidance and conduction of the cooling medium stream results therefrom.
- the cooling chamber 19 adjoins the cooling chamber 18 in the direction toward the center of the rotary piston internal combustion engine. Ribs 27 arranged therein are to assure a good cooling medium guidance and conduction.
- the inlet channel 23 is disposed accurately in front or to the rear of the inlet channel 15 within the casing 1 whereas the outlet channel 24 is disposed in proximity of the outlet channel 22.
- the continuation of the outlet channel 24 is represented by the channel 25 in the casing 1 (FIG. 1).
- the areas of the end part 17 not cooled by the cooling media of the two cooling circulations are cooled by lubricating oil which emerges out of the bearing of the piston 4 and leaves the housing by way of the aperture 26.
- the cooler medium not only flows through the chamber 11 in the casing 1 but additionally flows through the end parts 17 and possibly through intermediate parts of a multi-disk construction by way of chambers 18 located in those areas which directly adjoin the area traversed by the cooler cooling medium in the casing 1 by way of chamber 11;
- the hotter cooling medium in turn, not only flows through the chamber 14 in the casing l, but also through the end parts 17 and possibly intermediate parts of a multi-disk construction by way of chambers 19 located in those areas directly adjoining the areas of the chambers 18 in the direction toward the center longitudinal axis 20 of the rotary piston internal combustion engine.
