Abstract:
Mechanism for cooling individual cylinders of an engine, using low pressure air bled from an engine supercharger. Special passage structures are provided to guide and confine the air during its passage across external surfaces of the engine cylinders. After performance of its coolant function, the air may be passed into the supercharger outlet passage. The mechanism is especially useful for cooling engines in armored military vehicles in that a minimum number of air openings are formed in the armored hull structure; engine cooling is achieved without sacrificing the integrity of the armor envelope.
