A wet cylinder liner for internal combustion engines may include a cylindrical body composed of a ferrous alloy having a circumferential outer surface. The cylindrical body may include a first layer and a second layer disposed sequentially on the outer surface. The first layer may include at least one of at least one silicon and at least one two-component epoxy adhesive. The second layer may include a silane-elastomer compound. The silane-elastomer compound may include nanoparticles of silicon oxide and an adhesion modifier additive. The second layer may be configured as an interface between a cooling fluid and the first layer, as well as to resist erosion by cavitation. The first layer may facilitate an interface for resistance at high temperatures.

The invention relates to a tank used in an engine cooling system, the engine cooling system, and a work machine. The tank includes a housing and a partition which dividing the housing into an exhaust tank and an expansion tank which are sealed from each other. The exhaust tank includes a first connecting pipe and a second connecting pipe, the first connecting pipe being adapted to be fluidly connected to an engine cylinder jacket of the engine cooling system to introduce coolant into the exhaust tank, and the second connecting pipe being adapted to be fluidly connected to a heat exchanger of the engine cooling system to discharge the coolant into the heat exchanger. The expansion tank includes a third connecting pipe adapted to be fluidly connected to the engine cooling system. The tank further includes a guiding tube having a first end in communication with the exhaust tank, and a second end arranged in the expansion tank, so that gas contained in the coolant flowing through the exhaust tank is exported into the expansion tank through the guiding tube. The exhaust tank enables the gas in the coolant to be separated before entering the heat exchanger, and the thermal stress impact to the heat exchanger is reduced.

An engine having a water jacket may include a cylinder block in which cylinder liners forming a combustion chamber may be disposed from a first end to a second end of the cylinder block, and a block water jacket may be formed around the cylinder liners, a cylinder head having a head water jacket coupled to a top of the cylinder block, receiving cooling water from an exhaust side of the block water jacket and discharging cooling water to an intake side of the block water jacket, and inserts that may be inserted into the block water jacket and that may have horizontal dividing blades dividing the block water jacket into upper and lower parts, legs extending downward from the horizontal dividing blades, and flow preventing protrusions protruding upward from the horizontal dividing blades to divide the upper part of the block water jacket.

A cylinder liner includes: a small diameter portion configured to form a cooling water passage between the small diameter portion and an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder block; a large diameter portion disposed adjacent to the small diameter portion in the axial direction and formed to have a larger diameter than the small diameter portion; and at least one seal groove formed on an outer peripheral surface of the large diameter portion in an annular shape along a circumferential direction. The large diameter portion includes a one-side wall portion formed between the cooling water passage and a cooling-water-passage-side seal groove which is a seal groove disposed closest to the cooling water passage in the axial direction, and an other-side wall portion disposed farther from the cooling water passage than the cooling-water-passage-side seal groove is in the axial direction. The one-side wall portion is configured to have, in at least part in a circumferential direction including a thrust direction of the piston, a larger distance to the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder block than a distance from the other-side wall portion to the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder block.
