Abstract
An internal combustion engine comprising a sound-proof encasing surrounding the outer surfaces of the engine in spaced relation thereto, with a cooling-air inlet and a cooling-air outlet, a blower arranged between these apertures within the encasing and actuated by means of the internal combustion engine, and an additional ventilating device for the ventilation of the encasing after the internal combustion engine has been stopped.
Claims2
In an internal combustion engine comprising a sound absorbing casing surrounding the outer surfaces of the engine in spaced relation thereto and having one cooling air inlet, one cooling air outlet provided in a top wall of the casing, a cooling air blower arranged within the casing between the cooling air inlet and the cooling air outlet and driven by the engine, in combination:
- a series of drivingly interconnected flaps arranged on the top wall of the casing in the area of the cooling air outlet;
- a pressure actuated working cylinder arranged on the top wall of the casing in the vicinity of the cooling air outlet and drivingly connected with said flaps;
- said working cylinder being actuated by a pressure system of the engine, which is pressureless when the engine stops.
