Definitions

  • Oil is ideally suited as a cooling liquid, since the internal combustion engine cannot be cooled with oil, but can also be lubricated at the same time. Accordingly, only one cooling and lubricating medium is necessary.
  • an air space 214 is arranged between the valve or rocker arm bearing space 213 and the outlet channel, which thermally decouples the valve or rocker arm bearing space 213 from the outlet channel and thereby to the bottom of the valve or Rocker arm storage space 213 does not cause dripping oil to coke.
  • the air space 214 traverses the cylinder head 200 in the transverse direction and communicates with the atmosphere at both ends. A cooling air flow is advantageously conducted through the air space 214.
  • the air spaces 214 are arranged in the transverse direction of the engine, they are ideally suited for routing lines 215 from one engine longitudinal side to the other. These lines 215 can u. a. Pipe or hose lines or electrical lines.
  • passages are arranged in the circumferential direction around the cylinder openings 304, the arrangement and task of which are described below.
  • the passages or openings 302 and 303 are for the air-cooled Determines cylinder head 100 and the passages 305 ⁇ , 305 ⁇ and slot-like recess 307 for the liquid-cooled cylinder head 200.
