Patent number: 9790848Abstract: A marine engine includes a first turbocharger, a first intercooler, a second turbocharger, a second intercooler, an oil filter, and a top cover. The first turbocharger and the second turbocharger supply air by using an exhaust gas. The first intercooler and the second intercooler cool gases having passed through the turbochargers, respectively. The top cover is a cover arranged in an upper region of the marine engine. These devices are arranged so as not to overlap one another when seen in the thickness direction of the top cover.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2013Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: YANMAR CO., LTD.Inventors: Mitsuhiro Hibino, Kazuki Maetani

Patent number: 9777619Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2013Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignees: Yanmar Co., Ltd., FEV GMBHInventors: Mitsuhiro Hibino, Kazuki Maetani, Frank Haubner, Jeroen Slotman, Moritz Baehr

Publication number: 20150083083Abstract: A marine engine includes an exhaust manifold, a valve cover, a top cover, and a fuel supply pipe. The exhaust manifold collects exhaust gases discharged from a plurality of cylinders. The valve cover is a cover that covers all of a plurality of valves for air intake or air discharge to or from the cylinders. The top cover is a cover that covers the valve cover. The fuel supply pipe is arranged in a space between the valve cover and the top cover, and allows a fuel to flow therethrough. The top cover is provided with a partition that is arranged so as to separate the side where the exhaust gas flows immediately after being discharged from the exhaust manifold from the side where the fuel supply pipe is arranged.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2013Publication date: March 26, 2015Inventors: Kazuki Maetani, Mitsuhiro Hibino
