Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to improvements in internal combustion engines of the type in which the main reservoir for coolant is disposed directly above the engine cylinder, and in which the cooling action is largely one of evaporation, as distinguished from engines in which the reservoir for a considerable part of the coolant is disposed as a usually distinct organization adapted mainly for cooling by radiation. More particularly this invention relates to a detachable head motor of this type in which the circulation of the cooling medium is controlled in a manner adapted to render the cooling of such an engine more efficient.
Claim:
The combination with an evaporation-cooled internal combustion engine having a cylinder and a jacket, of a reservoir unit provided above the normal level of coolant with an opening affording free communication with the atmosphere and, removably connected with said jacket in communication with the space between the jacket and cylinder, and a removable cylinder head connected with said reservoir unit for attachment and removal therewith. |
