Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a cooling system for an internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder head (11) affixed to a cylinder block (7) defining a plurality of cylinders and a cylinder head coolant jacket (135) for circulating coolant between an intake and exhaust side of the cylinder head (11), said cylinder (11) head having at least one intake passage (11c) extending through one side of said cylinder head (11) and at least one exhaust passage (11d) extending through another side of said cylinder head (11). The cooling system is improved in that a flow regulating member (138) is provided in the cylinder head coolant jacket (135) between adjacent cylinders (XI,XL) for regulating a transverse flow of coolant through the cylinder head jacket (135) between the intake and exhaust sides. According to another aspect of the invention, the cylinder head coolant jacket (135) is communicated with the cylinder block coolant jacket (134) for circulating the coolant therethrough after cooling the cylinder head (11), and a coolant main passage (135a) is formed along one side of the cylinder head (11) for circulating the coolant through the cylinder head coolant jacket transversely from said one side to the opposite side of the cylinder head (11). <IMAGE>
