US Patent:

6821171, Nov 23, 2004

Filed:

Jul 31, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/632055

Inventors:

Steven Wynveen - Germantown WI
David J. Belter - West Bend WI
Timothy S. Reid - Fond du Lac WI

Assignee:

Brunswick Corporation - Lake Forest IL

International Classification:

B63H 2110

US Classification:

440 88C, 440 88 D, 440 88 G, 440 89 B, 123 4108, 123 4182 R

Abstract:

A cooling system for a marine engine conducts water from a coolant pump through the cylinder head and exhaust conduit prior to conducting the cooling water through the cylinder block. This raises the temperature of the water prior to its entering the cooling passages of the cylinder block.

Appl. No.:

10/793000

Inventors:

Steve Wynveen - Germantown WI, US
David J. Belter - Oshkosh WI, US
Timothy S. Reid - Fond du Lac WI, US

Assignee:

Brunswick Corporation - Lake Forest IL

International Classification:

F02F 1/04

US Classification:

1231932

Abstract:

An engine is provided with a plurality of cylinders and cylinder liners that are shaped to define a plurality of spaces between the liners and the engine block. These spaces provided an insulative barrier that at least partially restricts the flow of heat from the liner into the engine block. This allows the liners to operate at elevated temperatures while avoiding a deleterious increase in the cooling water temperature as it flows through passages within the engine block.

International Classification:

F01L 1/34

US Classification:

123 9015, 123 9016, 123 9031

Abstract:

A system is provided for monitoring changes in the operation of a valve system of an engine. An accelerometer provides vibration-related signals that are obtained by a microprocessor or similarly configured device and compared to a reference or baseline magnitude. The obtaining step can comprise the steps of measuring, filtering, rectifying, and integrating individual data points obtained during specific windows of time determined as a function of the rotational position of the crankshaft of the engine. These windows in time are preferably selected as a function of the position of exhaust or intake valves as they move in response to rotation of cams of the valve system.
