Abstract
Abstract A cooling circuit (5) for an internal combustion engine in which a throttle (2) is provided upstream of a heat exchanger (10, 11). The throttle (2) equalizes the oil pressure in the internal combustion engine in front of the heat exchangers and insures that this occurs almost independently of the temperature of the oil. By this provision, the heat exchangers can be fabricated with the least expense since the danger of bursting is reduced.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
An internal combustion engine with a cooling oil circuit (5) and a lubricating oil circuit (6), at least one oil pump (3) supplying oil to said circuits, and a heat exchanger which is arranged within the cooling oil circuit (5) downstream of said engine characterized by: a throttle (2) in said cooling oil circuit upstream of the heat exchanger whereby all the cooling oil passing through said heat exchanger passes through said throttle, an oil return line (18) connected to said cooling oil circuit between said oil pump (3) and said throttle (2) and a pressure relief valve (4) in said oil return line (18).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
An internal combustion engine with a cooling oil circuit (5) and a lubricating oil circuit (6), at least one oil pump (3) supplying oil to said circuits, and a heat exchanger which is arranged within the cooling oil circuit (5) downstream of said engine characterized by: a throttle (2) in said cooling oil circuit upstream of the heat exchanger whereby all the cooling oil passing through said heat exchanger passes through said throttle, an oil return line (18) connected to said cooling oil circuit between said oil pump (3) and said throttle (2) and a pressure relief valve (4) in said oil return line (18).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The internal combustion engine of claim 1 wherein said throttle (2) is a borehole in the casing of the internal combustion engine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The internal combustion engine of claim 1 wherein said throttle (2) is installed in said cooling oil circuit (5) upstream of the first point of said internal combustion engine which is to be cooled.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
An internal combustion engine of claim 3 wherein said throttle is a borehole in the casing of said engine.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
The internal combustion engine of claim 1 and further comprising a priority valve (9) in said cooling oil circuit (5) including walls defining a fluid chamber (19) and a spring-loaded piston (20) in said chamber (19), said throttle (2) being integrated into said priority valve (9).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
The internal combustion engine of claim 5 wherein said throttle is effected by providing a restricted opening (21) between said piston (20) and said walls of said fluid chamber (19), through which the cooling oil flows when said priority valve (9) is open.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
35 words
The internal combustion engine of claim 5 wherein said priority valve (9) is installed in said cooling oil circuit (5) upstream of the first point of said internal combustion engine which is to be cooled.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The internal combustion engine of claim 1 wherein said throttle (2) is positioned in the area of said heat exchanger.
