Supercharged water cooled internal combustion engine

Claim 1

A water cooled internal combustion engine having a central axis which includes: a cooling blower arranged at one end face of said engine, at least one water cooler extending alongside said engine and operatively connected to said cooling blower, a supercharger air cooler arranged underneath said water cooler and in parallel alignment with the central axis of said engine, and means for directing the cooling air delivered by said cooling blower so that said cooling air flows through said supercharger air cooler in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of said engine, said supercharger air cooler itself being provided with a gap forming an exit for the air to be discharged in one common direction from said supercharger air cooler and extending parallel to the path of the air to be discharged from said water cooler, cylinder rows in V-arrangement with one water cooler each over each of said cylinder rows, said water coolers defining a gap therebetween and being arranged for being passed through by air in vertical direction, said supercharger air coolers being arranged between said water coolers and said engine for being passed through by air in vertical direction, said supercharger air coolers also having discharge passage means leading into said gap between said water coolers, supercharged air conveying conduit means respectively associated with said cylinder rows and located therebetween, each cylinder row having a supercharger air cooler of its own arranged parallel to the respective supercharged air conveying conduit means, and deviating elbow means connecting said supercharger air cooler to said supercharged air conveying conduit means.
