Air cooled IC engine with additional cooling facilities - taking air from oil cooler to charge cooler or heater

摘要

The air-cooled IC engine with additional cooling facilities is basically a conventional in-line engine with a ducted fan at one end and an oil cooler cooled by air from the fan along-side the cylinder block at the other end. The engine has an exchaust-driven turbo-charger. An additional heat exchanger for the air from the turbo charger is fitted above the flywheel supplied with air that has passed through the oil cooler so that the combustion air can be cooled or heated as ambient conditions require. Air flow quantity can also be regulated. A flat cooler on top of the cooling air duct makes further use of the fan capacity. This cooler can serve the hydraulic transmission or a driven machine, or can supplement the main oil cooler.
