Systems are provided for cooling combustion chamber gasses and increasing an amount of air entrained in an injected fuel spray. In one example, a cooling passage may be included in an internal combustion engine, the cooling passage positioned exterior to a cylinder bore of the engine and coupled to the cylinder bore at a first opening and a second opening. The cooling passage may receive gasses from the cylinder bore via the first opening, and may cool the gasses as they travel through the cooling passage before returning the gasses to the cylinder bore via the second opening.
A system, comprising a cooling passage for an engine positioned exterior to a cylinder bore and coupled to the cylinder bore at a first end, forming a first opening in the cylinder bore for receiving gasses from the cylinder bore, where the cooling passage is further coupled to the cylinder bore at a second end, forming a second opening in the cylinder bore for returning the gasses received from the cylinder bore via the first opening, back to the cylinder bore.
