Abstract
Abstract In a fluid-cooled cylinder head for a series of cylinders of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine provided with a combustion chamber for each cylinder, the cooling water chambers co-ordinated with the individual combustion chambers are separated from each other, so that individual small casting cores can be used instead of a large casting core forming all the cooling water chambers of the cylinder head. The appropriate number of small casting cores can be inserted into the mould according to the number of cylinders, so that cylinder heads for cylinder blocks with different numbers of cylinders can be manufactured, using several casting cores. The cooling water chamber for each combustion chamber is so designed that a single unipart casting core can be used, which is so shaped that the cooling water is directed against the wall of the combustion chamber and against the sparking plug dome.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A fluid-cooled cylinder head for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine, the cylinder head having a combustion chamber for each cylinder, valve-controlled inlet and outlet ducts opening into each chamber, a bore for a spark plug or injection valve also opening into the chamber and located in a dome or ridge, cooling fluid chambers defined by the walls of the combustion chambers and through which the inlet and outlet ducts and also the dome extend, inlet orifices in the floor of the cylinder head, communicating with said cooling chamber and also with cooling chambers in the cylinder block, and outflow ducts leading therefrom, the cooling fluid chambers for the individual combustion chambers being separated from each other, and each cooling fluid chamber being in the form of a single annular chamber which surrounds the respective dome, and through which the inlet and outlet gas ducts and the valve guides for the outlet valve or valves pass, the circumferential wall of the annular chamber having ribs which extend in the direction of the dome, and the drainage duct of each annular chamber opening into a drainage collector duct which extends along the cylinder head.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
192 words
A fluid-cooled cylinder head for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine, the cylinder head having a combustion chamber for each cylinder, valve-controlled inlet and outlet ducts opening into each chamber, a bore for a spark plug or injection valve also opening into the chamber and located in a dome or ridge, cooling fluid chambers defined by the walls of the combustion chambers and through which the inlet and outlet ducts and also the dome extend, inlet orifices in the floor of the cylinder head, communicating with said cooling chamber and also with cooling chambers in the cylinder block, and outflow ducts leading therefrom, the cooling fluid chambers for the individual combustion chambers being separated from each other, and each cooling fluid chamber being in the form of a single annular chamber which surrounds the respective dome, and through which the inlet and outlet gas ducts and the valve guides for the outlet valve or valves pass, the circumferential wall of the annular chamber having ribs which extend in the direction of the dome, and the drainage duct of each annular chamber opening into a drainage collector duct which extends along the cylinder head.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
A cylinder head as claimed in claim 1, in which the drainage duct emanates from a point of the annular chamber which lies at or adjacent the highest point of the annular chamber, and/or lies closer to the dome than the inlet orifices.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A cylinder head as claimed in claim 2, in which the inlet orifices to the annular chamber are provided both on the side inlet duct and also on the side outlet duct.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A cylinder head as claimed in claim 2, having several inlet and several outlet ducts, and in which orifices for cooling fluid are provided between adjacent inlet ducts and between adjacent outlet ducts.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
78 words
A cylinder head as claimed in claim 1, having at least two inlet ducts and at least two outlet ducts, and in which the inflow orifices to the annular chamber are arranged on side outlet ducts, and orifices for cooling fluid are provided between adjacent inlet ducts and between adjacent outlet ducts adjacent to the annular chamber, and the annular chamber communicates with the drainage duct at a point which lies on the side of the inlet ducts.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A cylinder head as claimed in claim 1, in which the drainage collector duct opens outwardly and is sealed by a screwed-on closure.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
A cylinder head as claimed in claim 6, in which the cover is a part of the inlet pipe.
