  • Patent number: 9777619
    Abstract: A ship engine includes a first turbocharger, a first intercooler, a second turbocharger, and a second intercooler. The first turbocharger is arranged at one end of the ship engine with respect to a crank axis direction. The first intercooler and the second turbocharger are arranged in an end portion of the ship engine with respect to a device width direction. The first intercooler and the second turbocharger are arranged side by side in the crank axis direction. The second intercooler is arranged at the other end (at the side opposite to the side where the first turbocharger is arranged) of the ship engine with respect to the crank axis direction.

  • Patent number: 8555825
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine is disclosed that has a cylinder block with multiple cylinders, a bridge between adjacent cylinders, a cooling slot in the bridge, and a water jacket portion in the cylinder block. A cylinder head is coupled to the cylinder block which has a first cooling passage fluidly coupling the cooling slot and the water jacket portion in the cylinder block, a water jacket portion in the cylinder head, and a second cooling passage in the cylinder head fluidly coupling the cooling slot with the water jacket portion in the cylinder head. A cylinder head gasket is arranged between the cylinder head and the cylinder block which has a first orifice in the cylinder head gasket cooperating with the first cooling passage a second orifice in the cylinder head gasket cooperating with the second cooling passage.

  • Patent number: 8061309
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an internal combustion engine with a cooling circuit having a water jacket portion in the cylinder block and a water jacket portion in the cylinder head which has an intake portion and an exhaust portion. Flow from the intake and exhaust portions mix in an outlet housing which has a cylinder head outlet thermostat. A coolant pump provides flow to a first branch to the exhaust portion and a second branch to the water jacket portion in the cylinder block. A block thermostat is located in the second branch downstream of the coolant pump and upstream of the water jacket portion in the cylinder block. The intake portion of the water jacket portion in the cylinder head is fluidly coupled to the water jacket portion in the cylinder block.
