Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cylinder liner cooling structure for cooling a cylinder liner of a large diesel engine whereby a cooling space is provided between the outer periphery surface of the cylinder liner and the inner periphery of a cover that is placed at the outside of the cylinder liner for covering (the upper part of) the cylinder liner fluid-tightly.
  • Fig. 5 shows a half (left or right part) of a cross-section as to an assembly structure of the cylinder liner and a cylinder cover (a cylinder head for the cylinder) in a large diesel engine.
  • the numeral 1 denotes a cylinder liner
  • the numeral 2 denotes a cylinder cover that is placed on or over the cylinder liner 1 and tightened to the cylinder liner 1 with a plurality of bolts (not shown).
  • the cylinder liner 1 and the cylinder cover 2 are fluid-tightly tightened to each other via a metal gasket 6 .
  • the numeral 5 denotes a cover (not the cylinder cover) ; the top end of the cover 5 is detachably fixed to the cylinder cover 2, and the lower end of the cover 5 is detachably fixed to the cylinder liner 1; further, the cover 5 surrounds the outer (circumferential) periphery of the cylinder liner 1 and fluid-tightly jackets the outer (circumferential) periphery surface If of the cylinder liner 1 so that a cooling space 4 is configured between the outer (circumferential)periphery of the cylinder liner 1 and the inner (circumferential)periphery of the cover 5.
  • the bottom face of the cover 5 is placed at and fixed to an upper surface of a cylinder block 10 (the numeral 9 denotes the fixing surface area) : and, an inner circumferential side surface of the lower end of the cover 5 is connected to the side surface (an outer circumferential periphery) of the cylinder liner 1 via an O-ring 8 so that the fluid-tightness of the cooling space 4 is not spoiled (the bearing seal between the contact surfaces is not spoiled).
  • the cooling water for the cylinder liner 1 as well as for the cylinder cover 2 is firstly introduced into the cooling space 4 through at least one water inlet hole 16 of the cylinder block 10 and at least one cooling water passage 15 of the cover 5; thereby, the cooling water cools the cylinder liner wall 1a (the cylinder liner body) and the outer periphery surface If of the cylinder liner 1; further, the cooling water reaches a plurality of cooling boreholes 3 of the cylinder cover 2 after passing through a plurality of cooling holes 16 (that are different from the water inlet hole 16 of the cylinder block 10) of the cover 5, so that the cooling water also cools the cylinder cover 2.
  • patent reference 1 JP1987-253945 discloses a means for cooling the cylinder liner 1 in a large diesel engine.
  • a plurality of cut-outs (of an open longitudinal slit shape) is equidistantly and radially provided toward the outside of the outer periphery of the cylinder liner (namely, toward the outside and along the radial directions), in the upper outer periphery of the cylinder liner; a reinforcing jacket ring covers the upper part of the outer periphery of the cylinder liner whereby the reinforcing jacket ring configures a common passage that communicates with each one of the cut-outs, so that cooling fluid flows through the common passage and each one of the cut-outs.
  • the wall thickness of the cylinder liner 1 has to be increased in response to the increase of the brake mean effective pressure Pme; thus, the cooling effect (namely, the cooling water capacity, the cooling water flow rate and so on) regarding the cylinder liner 1 has to be enhanced so as to restrain the temperature of the outer periphery If of the cylinder liner 1, within a limit temperature.
  • the outer periphery If of the cylinder liner 1 is simply cooled; in other words, the heat transfer coefficient derived from the cooling waterside is too low to enhance the whole heat transfer coefficient so as to cope with the enhanced brake mean effective pressure Pme.
  • the cylinder liner of a so-called bore cool type can be adopted whereby a plurality of cooling bore holes of a L-shape or a dog-leg shape (bore holes with a sharp bend) is provided; however, this approach also accompanies a great deal of man-hours in machining a number of long and narrow bore-holes; as a result, the cost effectiveness is also spoiled.
  • the present invention aims at providing a cooling structure for cooling a cylinder liner, thereby the cooling structure realizes a low cost cylinder liner cooling means of a significantly simple structure that requires fewer machining man-hours; the cooling structure enhances the heat transfer coefficient on the cooling water side around the outer periphery of the cylinder liner; and, the cooling structure can cope with the enhanced brake mean effective pressure Pme.
  • this application discloses a cooling structure for cooling a cylinder liner, the structure comprising a cooling fluid space between an outer periphery of the cylinder liner and an inner periphery of a cover that fluid-tightly jackets said outer periphery of the cylinder liner, wherein the cooling fluid space is partitioned into an upper cooling space and a lower cooling space, by a partition boss provided on the outer periphery of the cylinder liner, thereby the cover fluid-tightly seals the clearance between the partition boss and the cover, so that the upper cooling space and the lower cooling space are fluid-tightly sealed by the cover; the partition boss is provided with a plurality of nozzle holes that are bored in the partition boss in a circumferential direction thereof, thereby cooling fluid gushes from the lower cooling space into the upper cooling space through the nozzle holes in such a way that the cooling fluid from each nozzle hole is directed toward the outer surface of the cylinder liner in the upper cooling space
  • a preferable example of the above disclosure is the cooling structure for cooling a cylinder liner, wherein said nozzle holes are provided circumferentially to said partition boss in such a way that each of the nozzle holes is bored to incline in a same direction circumferentially toward the outer surface of the cylinder liner, thereby an outlet of each of the nozzle holes is formed in an ellipse shape.
  • Another preferable example of the above first disclosure is the cooling structure for cooling a cylinder liner, wherein said nozzle holes are provided to said partition boss in such a way that each of the nozzle holes is bored to incline radially toward the outer surface of the cylinder liner in the upper cooling space, thereby an outlet of each of the nozzle holes is formed in a ellipse shape.
  • the cross section of the nozzle hole which is orthogonal to the axis of the nozzle hole may be an ellipse shape or a crushed (splat) ellipse rather than a perfect circle, for the purpose of relieving the stress concentration around the nozzle hole outlet.
  • each nozzle hole is provided with a nozzle which is fixed to said partition boss at a root part thereof, and each nozzle plays the role of the nozzle hole.
  • the partition boss provided on the outer periphery of the cylinder liner around the outer periphery along the circumferential direction divides the cooling fluid space that surrounds the cylinder liner, into the upper cooling space and the lower cooling space; the clearance between the partition boss and the cover is fluid-tightly sealed, so that the upper cooling space and the lower cooling space are fluid-tightly sealed by the cover; the partition boss is provided with the nozzle holes through which the cooling water (fluid) gushes from the lower cooling space into the upper cooling space; a plurality of nozzle holes is arranged along the circumferential direction around the cylinder liner; and the axis line of each nozzle hole at the hole outlet is directed toward the outer surface of the cylinder liner in the upper cooling space.

  • the cooling water intensively cools the outer surface as the location of the outer surface corresponds to the location of a top piston ring when the piston is at the top dead center, in which the temperature thereof becomes outstandingly high, and the upper part of the cylinder liner needs to be intensively cooled.
  • the jet stream (the gushing-out cooling fluid flow) of the cooling water collides with the outer surface, and effectively cools the upper part of the cylinder liner, as the collision of the jet stream with the outer surface enhances the heat transfer coefficient between the outer surface 1f and the cooling water; therefore, the temperature at the outer surface of the cylinder liner can be lowered.
  • the cooling water (fluid) space around the cylinder liner is divided into the upper cooling space and the lower cooling space; whereby, the cover jackets both the spaces, and the clearance between the partition boss and the cover is fluid-tightly sealed; further, the partition boss is provided with a plurality of nozzle holes through which the cooling water (fluid) gushes from the lower cooling space into the upper cooling space toward the cylinder liner outer surface in the upper cooling space; namely, the axis line of each nozzle hole is directed toward the outer surface.
  • the nozzle holes are provided circumferentially to the partition boss in a way that the nozzle holes are bored to incline in a same direction, thereby, forming the outlet of the each nozzle holes in an ellipse shape, a swirl flow in the circumferential direction around the outer periphery of the upper part of the cylinder liner is formed. Therefore, the heat transfer coefficient on the cooling water side can be enhanced.
  • a plurality of nozzles can be provided.
  • the root part of the nozzle is fixed to the partition boss, and the nozzle plays the role of the nozzle hole; further, by changing the length, direction or inner diameter of the nozzles, the heat transfer coefficient on the cooling water side of the cylinder liner due to the collision of the cooling water to the outer surface of the cylinder liner can be adjusted, thereby, the nozzle 12 that brings a most suitable temperature condition can be selected.

  • the aperture angle ⁇ is predetermined by experiments or simulation calculations.
  • the nozzle holes 13 are formed to the partition boss 1c in a form that the axis line 13s of the each nozzle hole inclines in one direction circumferentially so that the positions of the inlet and outlet of the each nozzle hole are out of alignment in circumference direction. Accordingly, as shown in Fig. 2(B) , the cross-section of each nozzle hole 13 forms an ellipse shape 13a at the nozzle hole outlet through which cooling water gushes into the upper cooling space 10.
  • each nozzle hole 13 the cooling water ejected from each nozzle hole having the axis line thereof inclined in one direction circumferentially, forms a swirl flow in the circumferential direction around the outer periphery 1f of the upper part of the cylinder liner 1; therefore, the heat transfer coefficient on the cooling water side can be enhanced
