Abstract:
A method for processing a constructed, liquid-cooled piston of an internal combustion engine, the piston including an upper piston part and a lower piston part, which are supported by a joining plane and are connected to each other in a bonded manner. An electrochemical method, such as electrochemical machining, is used to produce a passage opening or a hole in the piston. By means of the method, material is selectively removed after the completion of the upper part piston, the lower piston part, or the piston after the two piston parts have been joined. The electrochemical machining allows an arbitrarily geometrically designed topography having at least one passage opening, a hollow, or an oil pocket in cooling areas or non-cooling areas to be created on the piston.

Abstract:
Described herein is an engine piston that incorporates reciprocating heat pipes for temperature reduction in the upper section of the piston. The reciprocating heat pipes are arranged circumferentially, close to the piston ring grooves, and extend from the region of the top ring groove to the piston skirt region. Since the reciprocating heat pipe has a very high thermal conductance, excessive heat in the top ring groove region can be transferred to the heat pipe section corresponding to the piston skirt region, where accessibility to the cooling oil is much greater, and heat can be dissipated via oil splash/mist or jet impingement cooling. Also, the heat dissipation area in contact with the cooling oil is significantly increased. As a result, the temperature in the upper section of the piston can be considerably decreased. The temperature reduction in the upper section of the piston, including the top ring groove region, would significantly improve engine thermal efficiency and performance of the piston assembly.
Abstract:
Conventional cooling arrangements for the piston assemblies mounted within an engine block include the use of coolant that is circulated through the engine block. Generally, a plurality of cavities or water jackets are positioned in areas of high heat production within the engine block and the coolant is circulated between them and a radiator dissipate the heat created through engine operation. This method of cooling however requires the engine block to be stationary with respect to the pistons that reciprocated within to facilitate the circulation of the coolant within the block. The present invention provides a cooling arrangement for a first piston member that reciprocates within an engine block and in turn mounts at least one second piston member therewithin. The first piston member includes a sealed cavity that is positioned about a bore in which the second piston member is mounted for reciprocation. The cavity contains a cooling agent that dissipates the heat created within the first piston member as it reciprocates within the engine block.

In one embodiment, the piston head is formed of a top member, an intermediate member and a pin boss member joined to each other preferably by welding; the top and intermediate members are provided with circumferential grooves which defines the closed cooling chamber. In an alternate embodiment, the head is formed of a top member and a pin boss member joined together preferably by welding; the closed cooling chamber is defined by circumferential grooves provided on both members.
Abstract:
A piston of the type including a pistonhead having a combustion chamber in its upper face and piston ring receiving grooves about its periphery. The pistonhead is machined with a concentric element on its underside adapted to engage a concentric element on a wrist pin bearing frame on which partial skirts or slipper elements are mounted to distribute the transverse thrust of the piston against the cylinder wall. The combustion chamber is surrounded by a shell element through which the on concentric element extends and to which it is sealed, preferably by welding. The upper portion of the shell extends upwardly spaced from the wall of the combustion chamber to provide a cooling space to receive a meltable first coolant, and a second annular shell element, or border member, may be mounted between the inner wall of the ring supporting periphery of the pistonhead below the piston ring grooves and the outer wall of the shell element, to form a chamber for a second coolant which may be the engine lubricant.
