  • the present invention relates to a circulating cooling system for piston internal combustion engines with a cooling jacket and control devices which interrupt the cooling medium circulation through the cooling jacket at least within the area of the combustion zones up to a first predetermined limit value of the temperature of the engine and/orof the time after the cold start of the engine, above the first predetermined limit value initially confine the circulation to a closed circulation bypassing a radiator and avoiding a fresh water exchange. and above a further predetermined temperature value incorporate the radiator, a heater heat-exchanger and- /or the fresh water exchange into the cooling circulation.
  • the aim of the present invention is to further improve such a circulating cooling system.
  • the present invention consists for that purpose in that vent lines arranged between the vent connections of the radiator, of the thermostat housing, of the cooling jacket, of the cooling medium valve, and/or of an expansion tank are adapted to be closed off by at least one float valve controlled by the cooling medium level. Up to the first predetermined limit value of the temperature of the cooling medium, exclusively that portion of the cooling medium can be included in this manner into the warm-up operation which is disposed in the cooling jacket itself. Also no residual circulation of the cooling medium takes place through vent lines.

  • the internal combustion engine 1 For the circulation of a cooling medium, the internal combustion engine 1 includes 'at the usual places a cooling medium inlet opening or aperture 4 and a cooling mediumdischarge opening or aperture 5 which are provided, respectively, at a geodetically low location in the first area 2 and at a geodetically high location in the second area 3 of the cooling jacket.
  • a further geodetically high discharge opening or aperture 6 is formed in the second area 3 of the cooling jacket.
  • a further auxiliary discharge opening or-aperture 7 may be provided in the first area 2possibly also at the location of the discharge aperture 6.
  • a free. unobstructed cooling medium'line 8 leads from the cooling medium discharge aperture 5 to a radiator 9 and terminates in the latter at a geodetically high place.
  • the cooling medium line 8 passes a thermostat housing 11 at the height of a branching place 10.
  • An expansion element 12 of a cooling medium valve 13' protrudes into the branching place 10. which is equipped with a disk valve 14.
  • the plate valve 14 is operable to close or open a control opening 15.
  • a radiator return line 16 leaves the radiator 9 at a geodetically low place, which connects the radiator 9 with the thermostat housing 11.
  • the radiator return line 16 is completely or partially closed off or opened up in the thermostat housing 11 within the area of a control opening 17 by a disk valve 18.
  • the disk valve 18, as also the disk valve 19, which is provided for the opening or closing of the control opening 20 of a bypass 20, are component parts of a three-way thermostat 21 which is arranged in the interior space of the thermostat housing 11. Both disk valves 18 and 19 are controlled by way of an expansion element 21' which carries out control movements corresponding to the temperature of the flow of the cooling medium through the control opening 17 out of the radiator 9 and through the control opening 20 out of the by-pass 20.

  • the feed line 32 is connected to the discharge aperture 6.
  • the flow cross section of the cooling medium within the area of the discharge aperture 6 is controlled by means of a valve 36 with a disk valve 37. The control thereby takes place by way of an expansion element which projects into the second area 3.
  • Both the heat-exchanger 26 as also the auxiliary circulation line 30 may be connected directly to the discharge aperture 7 within the first area 2 of the cooling jacket.
  • the discharge aperture 6 may be dispensed with. It is only important that the location of the discharge aperture 7 is so selected that a swirling or vortexting of the cooling medium disposed within the second area 3 does not occur during the warm-up operation of the internal combustion engine, and as a result thereof an accelerated warm-up of the cooling medium in the combustion zones is assured during the cold start.
  • the last-mentioned variation in the solution is especially appropriate, when the internal combustion engine is started at extremely low ambient or outside tem peratures in order to feed to the heater for the inside space of the vehicle cooling medium heated up above the outside temperature as soon as possible.

  • a further vent line 39 branches off from the thermostat housing ll-also still upstream of the control aperture 17which is connected with the expansion tank 28.
  • a still further vent line 41 terminates within the area 40 of the further vent line 39; the still further vent line 41 thereby branches off from the combining place 22 of the thermostat housing 11.

  • the tapering or constriction place is thereby constructed as seat for a float valve 42-.which with an increasing cooling medium level closes offthe further vent lines 39 and 41 against the rising cooling medium.
  • the venting of the cooling system is ensured by the arrangement of these vent lines.
  • a circulation of the cooling medium through the vent lines harmful for the rapid warm-up of the engine, is avoided by the float valve 42.
  • the disk valve 14 of the. cooling medium valve 13 and the disk valve 18 of the three-way thermostat 21 close the control apertures 15 and 17, respectively, when the engine is cold and thus the cooling medium is cold.
  • the cooling medium present within the area of the cooling medium line 8, of the radiator 9 and of the return line 16 cannot flow to the cooling medium pump 24.
  • the discharge opening 6 is closed by the disk valve 37, also no circulation of the cooling medium takes place even with a running cooling medium pump.

  • the cooling medium reaches the combining place 22 in the thermostat housing 11 by way of the discharge line 27. From there, the cooling medium returns uncontrolled to the cooling medium pump 24 by way of the return line 23.
  • auxiliary circulation there exists an auxiliary circulationassuming that in this embodiment the discharge aperture 7 is notpresent and that the auxiliary circulation line 30' starts from the place 31-whose flow path is designated by the arrows 46.
  • the cooling medium thereby reaches the auxiliary circulation line 30 and 30 from the feed line 32, flows through the heat jacket 33 and flows into the discharge line 27 by way of the temperature pick-up 35.
  • the control of the valve 36 takes place by way of an expansion element which, at a predetermined temperature, so displaces the disk valve 37 that the discharge aperture 6 is opened. At this control temperature, however, the expansion elements of the cooling medium valve 13 and of the three-way thermostat 21 do not as yet respond. The associated disk valves remain in their positions closing the associated control openings. As a result thereof, neither a flow by way of the by-pass 20' through the control opening 15 nor a flow through the radiator 9 takes place in the second control phase.

  • the control of thecooling medium valve 13 takes place by way of the expansion element 12 which is so arranged within the area of the geodetically high cooling medium discharge aperture that it is acted upon owing to thermo-siphon flow by the highest occurring temperature of the cooling medium in the second area 3, when the cooling medium is stationary or standing-still.
  • the warm-up operation of the engine terminates with the fourth control phase.
  • the cooling medium thereby reaches a temperature, at which also the disk valve 18 controlling the flow of the cooling medium through the radiator 9, which again is controlled by an expansion element, opens up the control opening 17.
