摘要:
In order to obviate vapor locking and subsequent cavitation of a pump which returns coolant vapor condensate from a radiator to the coolant jacket of an evaporative type cooled internal combustion engine and maintains the highly heated structure of the engine immersed in a predetermined depth of liquid coolant, the load on the pump is sensed by determining the amount of electrical current the pump is drawing and in the event that the load is at a level indicative of pump cavitation the connection between the radiator and the pump is interrupted and communication between a reservoir and the pump is established so as to introduce cool liquid coolant into the induction port of the pump.
摘要:
In the event that the normal coolant return pump of an evaporative type automotive cooling system malfunctions, a back-up system establishes fluid communication between the cooling circuit and the circulation pump of a heater circuit in a manner which enables the heater circulation pump to be used in place of the normal unit until such time as repair can be effected.
摘要:
A noise-shielding panel comprises a flat section spacedly disposed from the surface of an engine body and formed of a fibrous composite, and a contacting section integral with the flat section and formed of the same fibrous composite as in the flat section. The contacting section is in direct contact with the engine body surface and lower in density of the fibrous composite than the flat section, thereby facilitating production thereof and exhibiting a high noise-shielding effect.

An engine of a motor vehicle is equipped with a sound-insulating cover which is secured to a portion of an engine proper to surround the engine proper. An oil pan filled with engine oil is hermetically connected to the bottom portion of the sound-insulating cover so that the oil pan is spaced apart from the skirt portion of a crankcase.
摘要:
In order to prevent wasteful cooling fan energization when the radiator or condensor of an evaporative type cooling system is partially filled in a manner which hinders heat exchange promotion and defeats any merit derived by operating a fan at full power, the fan is operated at a lower level to reduce fan noise and power consumption.
摘要:
In order to diagnose a malfunction an evaporative cooling system upon the engine being initially started or in response to a demand for engine operation (e.g. cranking of the engine) the outputs of a sensor or sensors are monitored and diagnostic check of the system performed to determine if the sensors and or valves of the system are operating properly. In the event that a malfunction is indicated a warning is issued and/or the operation of the engine prevented.
摘要:
An improved cylinder head of internal combustion engine cooled by a so-called boiling liquid cooling system is disclosed, which has in its coolant jacket baffle members in order to inhibit the movement of liquid coolant within the jacket due to changes in attitude of the engine.
摘要:
An evaporative cooling system features a reservoir which contains only sufficient coolant to fill the radiator when the engine is not in use and thus reduces the weight of the system. The remaining sections of the cooling circuit such as the upper section of the coolant jacket which are fairly resistant to corrosion are filled with air during non-use periods. The air is suitably purged out during engine warm-up and operation in accordance with the temperature differential which exists between the coolant jacket and the bottom of the radiator.
摘要:
A spark timing control system for reducing engine noise in an internal combustion engine utilizing a sensor for detector for detecting engine vibration, a filtering device receiving the output of the sensor and passing frequency components within a range of 500 to 2000 Hz, and a generating circuit responsive to the passed frequency components for generating an output signal when the level of the passed frequency outputs exceeds a reference value. Spark timing is retarded when the output signal is received from the generating circuit thereby reducing engine noise.
摘要:
An expansion chamber, and first and second volume chambers on either side of said expansion chamber, are formed inside a muffler housing. Engine exhaust is led by an inlet tube to the first volume chamber, and an opening facing the expansion chamber is formed in an intermediate part of the inlet tube. Exhaust in the second volume chamber is discharged outside by a tail tube, and an opening is formed facing the expansion chamber in an intermediate part of the tail tube. A valve is provided for leading exhaust from the first volume chamber to the second volume chamber according to a pressure difference between the chambers. This forms two exhaust flowpaths. A resonance system with two degrees of freedom is thereby formed with respect to exhaust discharged via the two openings and the expansion chamber, and a high noise silencing efficiency is obtained.
