Outboard motor
An outboard motor is provided with an upper separator disposed on the lower side of an oil case for storing a lubricating oil of an engine, and an extension case which is separably connected on the lower side of the upper separator. The upper separator has a central exhaust passage through which exhaust gas flows, and a cooling water flow part through which cooling water flows on the outside of the central exhaust passage, the central exhaust passage and the cooling water flow part forming an integrated structure. The exhaust gas and the cooling water are caused to mix in the extension case.
THERMAL MANAGEMENT ASSEMBLY OF A VEHICLE
A thermal management assembly includes a fluidic command device connected to a first and second pump group and having four inlet and outlet ports and an auxiliary duct connecting the pump groups. The fluidic command device is configurable in a first configuration, in which working fluid flows into the first inlet port and out of the first outlet port, flowing into the first pump group, the auxiliary duct and the second pump group, a second configuration, in which working fluid flows into the second inlet port and out of the second outlet port, flowing in the pump groups, preventing flow in the auxiliary duct, and a third configuration, in which working fluid flows into the third inlet port and out of the third outlet port, flowing into the first pump group, and into the fourth inlet port and out of the fourth outlet port, flowing into the second pump group.
REDUCTANT TANK ASSEMBLY WITH MULTIPLE CONNECTION TANK HEADER
An aftertreatment system includes a first dosing module, a second dosing module, and a reductant tank assembly. The reductant tank assembly includes a reductant tank, a header coupled to the reductant tank, and a first splitting device that splits a first flow from the header into a first inlet flow and a second inlet flow. A first inlet line and a second inlet line direct the first inlet flow and the second inlet flow to the first dosing module and the second dosing module. A first outlet line and a second outlet line direct a first outlet flow and a second outlet flow from the first dosing module and the second dosing module to a second splitting device. The second splitting device merges the first outlet flow and the second outlet flow into a second flow and provides the second flow to the header.
Shut-off member for channel connection and channel disconnection of a turbocharger, and internal combustion engine and vehicle with a shut-off member of this type
A shut-off member for a turbocharger for an internal combustion engine includes a first channel, a second channel, and a wall that separates the first channel from the second channel. A shut-off member opening is formed in the wall that connects the first channel and the second channel. The shut-off member opening is selectively openable and closable by a shut-off member body. A cooling channel is disposed in the wall and at least partially surrounds the shut-off member opening.
Reductant tank assembly with multiple connection tank header

The reductant tank assembly includes a reductant tank, a header coupled to the reductant tank, and a first splitting device that splits a first flow from the header into a first inlet flow and a second inlet flow. A first inlet line and a second inlet line direct the first inlet flow and the second inlet flow to the first dosing module and the second dosing module. A first outlet line and a second outlet line direct a first outlet flow and a second outlet flow from the first dosing module and the second dosing module to a second splitting device. The second splitting device merges the first outlet flow and the second outlet flow into a second flow and provides the second flow to the header.
MARINE PROPULSION AND GENERATOR SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A marine propulsion system for a marine vessel includes an engine effectuating rotation of an output shaft, multiple batteries configured to power a marine vessel load, and an alternator having a rotor that is driven into rotation by the output shaft and that outputs a charge current to the batteries. The marine propulsion system further includes a control system configured to operate the engine in a propulsion mode and a generator mode. Upon receiving a generator mode command to start the engine in the generator mode, the control system operates the engine in accordance with a set of generator parameters to charge the batteries while a shift system of the marine propulsion system is locked in a neutral position such that the propulsor cannot be engaged and the marine vessel remains stationary.
COOLING SYSTEM FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
In a vehicle cooling system, a quantity of warm coolant stored within a thermally insulated tank is used to heat engine lubricating oil in an engine warm-up phase following a cold start. A conduit feeding coolant leaving the engine is connected to an inlet of the tank via a reduced cross-section or a labyrinth pathway. The conduit is connected to an inlet of an electronically controlled distribution valve having three outlets connected to the oil cooler, a passenger compartment heater, and a radiator. In an initial part of the warm-up phase, the valve is closed, and the entire flow of coolant leaving the engine flows into the tank, moving the quantity of warm coolant previously stored in the tank to the oil cooler, where it contributes to more rapid heating of the lubricating oil. When the engine is switched-off, the tank is again filled with warm coolant from the engine.
Shut-Off Member for Channel Connection and Channel Disconnection of a Turbocharger, and Internal Combustion Engine and Vehicle With a Shut-Off Member of This Type
A shut-off member for a turbocharger for an internal combustion engine includes a first channel, a second channel, and a wall that separates the first channel from the second channel. A shut-off member opening is formed in the wall that connects the first channel and the second channel. The shut-off member opening is selectively openable and closable by a shut-off member body. A cooling channel is disposed in the wall and at least partially surrounds the shut-off member opening.
A COOLING ARRANGEMENT FOR A WHR-SYSTEM
A cooling arrangement for a WHR-system in a vehicle, includes a first cooling circuit including a first radiator (9) in which a circulating coolant is cooled, and a second cooling circuit including a second radiator (14) in which a coolant is cooled to a lower temperature than the coolant in the first radiator (9). A condenser inlet line (17, 38) directs coolant from one of the cooling circuits to a condenser (19) of the WHR-system, and a cooling adjusting device (13, 16, 24, 38) for adjusting the temperature of the coolant in the inlet line (17, 38) to the condenser (19) by the coolant in the other cooling circuit. An arrangement (37, 24) receives information about the cooling to estimates cooling for the working medium in the condenser (19) controls the adjusting arrangement (13, 16, 24, 38) such that the coolant in the condenser inlet line (17) provides the estimated suitable cooling of the working medium in the condenser (19).
Cooling device for multiple cylinder engine
The present invention is configured such that: a cylinder block includes an introducing portion provided at a first side of a cylinder row, cooling liquid being introduced through the introducing portion to a water jacket, a restrictor portion provided in a vicinity of the introducing portion and configured to restrict the cooling liquid, introduced through the introducing portion, from flowing to an intake-side portion of the water jacket, and a discharging portion provided at a middle portion of the cylinder row at an intake side, the cooling liquid being discharged from the water jacket through the discharging portion; and an exhaust-side portion of the water jacket is formed such that a passage cross-sectional area of a cylinder axis direction upper side of the exhaust-side portion is larger than the passage cross-sectional area of a cylinder axis direction lower side of the exhaust-side portion.
