  • Patent number: 8714128
    Abstract: A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine has a body integrating, in a single cast piece, an exhaust manifold and including a lower cooling jacket and an upper cooling jacket, The lower cooling jacket is longitudinally divided into a plurality of separate transverse chambers associated to various engine cylinders, while the upper cooling jacket has a portion extending longitudinally over the entire development of the head and communicating with separate transverse chambers located on the intake side of the head. The exhaust conduits integrated in the head form separate subgroups of exhaust conduits merging into manifold portions superimposed and spaced apart from each other. The lower cooling jacket has a portion thereof which extends in the area of the body of the head which separates the superimposed portions of the abovementioned subgroups of exhaust conduits.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8671904
    Abstract: A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine has a body integrating in a single cast piece, the exhaust manifold. The exhaust conduits form separate subgroups merging into manifold portions superimposed and spaced apart from each other. A lower cooling jacket, an upper cooling jacket and an intermediate cooling jacket are formed in the head. The lower cooling jacket is longitudinally divided into a plurality of separate transverse chambers, while the upper cooling jacket has a portion extended longitudinally over the entire development of the head. The lower cooling jacket has a portion extending in the area of the body which separates the superimposed portions of the subgroups of exhaust conduits. The intermediate jacket forms a main outlet at an end of the head. The upper jacket has a first portion at the center of the head and a second portion forming an auxiliary circuit adjacent to said main outlet.
