Control of Cylinder Temperatures by Thermostatically Operated Internal-Coolant Valves

Abstract

Liquid-expansion type valves with liquid-expansion chambers were located at responsive temperature point on cylinder. Valves were tested in cylinder of radial engine to determine performance with respect to temperature sensitivity, rapidity of response, and hunting characteristics. Valves provided accurate control of temperatures at point when water or fuel was used as internal coolant. Water was ineffective in cooling exhaust-valve guides and seats.
