Abstract
Abstract An arrangement for driving the oil and water pumps of an internal combustion engine in which the pumps are driven independently of the engine's speed. In one arrangement the oil pump is activated prior to starting the engine to provide adequate lubrication to the engine during the starting operation. The activation of the water pump may be controlled by the temperature of the engine such that it is not needlessly driven when the engine is cold.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
205 words
An internal combustion engine having a cooling water system for cooling the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine including a cooling water pump, a drive motor for the cooling water pump, and a temperature sensor in the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine for actuating the drive motor for the cooling water pump in response to the detection of a predetermined temperature in the cylinder head, and a cooling oil system for cooling and lubricating the bearings of the internal combustion engine including a cooling oil pump, a drive motor for the cooling oil pump, an oil cooler for reducing the temperature of the cooling oil, and a fan for directing air onto said cooler, said drive motor for the cooling oil pump also being coupled to drive the fan for the oil cooler, whereby the motor for the oil pump may be actuated to cause circulation of oil through the bearings of the internal combustion engine for lubrication thereof prior to starting of the internal combustion engine, and during operation of the engine the temperature sensor in the cylinder head actuates the drive motor for the cooling water pump in response to the detection of a predetermined temperature in the cylinder head.
