A liquid cooling circuit includes a liquid reservoir for coolant, a heat-generating module, a conduit fluidly coupling the heat-generating module with the liquid reservoir, and a pump configured to move the coolant through the conduit to cool the heat-generating module. The liquid cooling circuit is configured such that the movement of the coolant relative to the heat-generating module transfers heat from the heat-generating module to the coolant.

A method of modifying the oil cooling system of a diesel engine includes the steps of removing the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger and installing a manifold having a configuration adapted to match the mounting configuration of the oil passages of the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The manifold has an oil outlet port directed to a remotely mounted oil cooler. The manifold also has a water passage having a configuration that is adapted to match the mounting configuration of the water passages of the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The water passage causes the entirety of the flow of water to be discharged back to the water cooling system of the engine where it is circulated by the water pump through the water cooling passages in the engine.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising a first free space (7) for a first fluid (3), a thermally conductive wall (11) which, at least locally, delimits said first free space (7), in such a way that an exchange of heat can occur between the first fluid and the thermally conductive wall (11) which is hollow and encloses a material (13) for storing thermal energy by accumulation of latent heat, by heat exchange with at least the first fluid. The first free space (7) is divided into at least two separated channels (7a, 7b) in which two streams of the first fluid (3) can circulate at the same time but separately, the thermally conductive wall (11) which encloses the thermal energy storage material (13) being interposed between the two channels (7a, 7b).

In a dynamometer device (1), a dynamometer (5) is placed on a dynamometer-side bed (6), and the dynamometer-side bed (6) is stacked on a tank-side bed (15) located on the top part of a bed tank (3). The dynamometer (5) is connected to the bed tank (3) by an oil discharge pipe (9) which returns a cooling oil (2) to the bed tank (3) from the dynamometer (5). The oil discharge pipe (9) passes through an interface (23) between the dynamometer-side bed (6) and the tank-side bed (15), and extends into the bed tank (3).

The cooling apparatus of the engine according to the invention supplies the cooling water directly to the cylinder block water passage from the cylinder head water passage when the engine temperature is between first and second temperatures, and a supply of the cooling water to the heat exchanger is not requested. The first and second temperatures are lower than the engine completely-warmed temperature. The apparatus supplies the cooling water discharged from the cylinder block and head water passages, to the water passages through the heat exchanger when the engine temperature is between the second temperature and the engine completely-warmed temperature, and the supply of the cooling water to the heat exchanger is not requested.

An aircraft propulsion system comprising a reciprocating liquid cooled engine housed within the fuselage driving twin fuselage mounted ducted-fans is disclosed. The propulsion system may be liquid cooled with a liquid cooled exhaust and at least one turbocharger. The ducted-fans may run fan blade tip speeds of up to 97% Mach driven by a near constant RPM engine through a continuously variable transmission. The propulsion system may be low noise and may meet environmental standards typical in the automotive industry.
