A Cooling System For The Rear Mounted Engine Of A Motor Vehicle

Abstract: 1. A cooling system for the rear mounted liquid cooled engine of a motor vehicle, comprising at least a first opening on one side or either side of the body of the vehicle, for atmospheric air to enter through the opening into the engine-chamber; ducting connected to the said openings; the radiator of the engine being placed in the path of air from the ducting; at least one fan provided for the engine chamber for sending in air into the ducting on to the radiator; a second opening provided with a mesh at the rear of the body for exit of hot air from the engine- chamber, thus cooling the engine.

Specification

This Invention relates to a cooling system for the rear mounted liquid cooled engine of a motor vehicle, more particularly, though not exclusively, a motor vehicle, such as, an auto rickshaw.
Motor vehicles, such as, those above mentioned have a draw back, namely, that cooling of their engines is not effectively achieved, mainly because the rear mounted engines are closeted in compartments inaccessible to cooling atmospheric air. Such engines are therefore usually liquid-cooled, but the cooling problem is still largely left unsolved in view of their virtual isolation from atmospheric air.
It is therefore an object of this invention to augment the cooling of the known liquid-cooled engines, by atmospheric air. By augmenting the cooling increase in power can be achieved.
Another object of this invention is to dispense with the need to use any power driven mechanism for the purpose (except a fan), yet augment the existing cooling effect.
The invention proposed can readily be incorporated in motor vehicles yet to be manufactured as well as motor vehicles already on the road.
Other objects of this invention and its advantages will be apparent from its description to follow.

The cooling system for the rear mounted liquid cooled engine of a motor vehicle, according to this invention, comprises at least a first opening on one side or either side of the body of the vehicle, for atmospheric air to enter through the opening into the engine-chamber; ducting connected to the said openings; the radiator of the engine being placed in the path of air from the ducting; at least one fan provided for the engine chamber for sending In air into the ducting on to the radiator; a second opening provided with a mesh at the rear of the body for exit of hot air from the engine-chamber, thus cooling the engine.
This invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, and not by way of limitation, one of its possible embodiments.
Fig. 1 illustrating a rear view of the embodiment
And
Fig.2 illustrating a side view of the embodiment
The embodiment has a first opening at least on one side or either side of the body 2 of the vehicle, for atmospheric air to enter through the opening into the engine-chamber. A second opening on the body 2 of the vehicle, at the rear 3, for atmospheric air to escape.
Ducting 4 is connected to the said openings, the radiator 5 of the engine being placed in the path of air from the ducting to cool the radiator.

At least one fan 1 on either side of the body is provided for the engine chamber for sending in air into the ducting on to the radiator.
A second opening is provided with a mesh 6 at the rear 3 of the body 2 of the vehicle for exit of hot air from the engine-chamber, thus cooling the engine.
It will be appreciated that various other embodiments are possible without departing from the scope and ambit of this invention.

1. A cooling system for the rear mounted liquid cooled engine of a
motor vehicle, comprising at least a first opening on one side
or either side of the body of the vehicle, for atmospheric air to
enter through the opening into the engine-chamber; ducting
connected to the said openings; the radiator of the engine
being placed in the path of air from the ducting; at least one fan
provided for the engine chamber for sending in air into the
ducting on to the radiator; a second opening provided with a
mesh at the rear of the body for exit of hot air from the engine-
chamber, thus cooling the engine.
2. A cooling system for the rear mounted engine liquid cooled
engine of a motor vehicle, substantially as herein described
with reference to, and as illustrated in, the accompanying
drawings.
