    Abstract: A pan system suitable for an engine housing structure has trough-shaped inner and outer pans with bottoms and upright walls. The inner pan accommodates engine oil. The outer pan bottom and upright walls run at least in certain areas at a distance from the bottom and walls of the inner pan, forming a channel-like intermediate space containing engine for affecting the temperature of the inner pan. Fins are provided on the inner walls and the outer walls. The bottoms of the inner and outer pans interact through a supporting system. Preferably, the inner and outer pans are made of metallic material and the inner pan is provided at least on one inner side of the bottom and upright walls with a cooling fin system that optimizes heat transfer. The upright walls of the inner and outer pans are connected to the engine housing structure.

    Abstract: An internal combustion engine has at least one piston which performs stroke movements in a cylinder crankcase. Via two connecting rods, the piston interacts with two parallel crankshafts which rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The connecting rods have, on a side facing toward a piston crown of the piston, bearing eyelets which, via piston pins, are operatively connected to the first and second bearings provided at opposite first and second sides of the piston, which bearings and piston pins act as a device for compensating an asymmetry of the profile of the crankshafts. To optimize the internal combustion engine, the first and the second bearings have cylindrical bearing disks which, firstly, are rotatably mounted in piston bores and which, secondly, include disk bores for receiving first and second pin sections of the piston pins.

    Abstract: A connecting device is provided between a turbine housing of an exhaust turbocharger and an exhaust manifold housing of an internal combustion engine. The turbine housing and the exhaust manifold housing are kept in position via a band clamp which acts with first and second limbs, which are oriented in a V shaped manner in cross section and are connected via a web, on supporting devices, which are attached to outer circumferences of the turbine housing and of the exhaust manifold housing, and are configured in the manner of first and second ring flanges placed on each other, such that, firstly, first and second clamping surfaces of the limbs are operatively connected to third and fourth clamping surfaces of the supporting devices on first and second connecting planes, and, secondly, first and second radial supporting surfaces are operatively connected to each other on a supporting plane of the supporting devices. An intermediate ring is effective between the second clamping surface of the second limb and an inner supporting surface of the second edge flange. The intermediate ring is clamped against the inner supporting surface of the second ring flange via the second and fourth clamping surfaces and a clamping surface portion of the intermediate ring.

    Abstract: An intake unit having an integrated charge air cooler is suited for use in an internal combustion engine provided with an exhaust gas turbocharger and having cylinders which are part of a machine housing including a cylinder housing and a cylinder head including inlet ducts, to which inlet ducts the intake unit is routed by connecting ducts. The intake unit includes a unit container having a first container section with connecting ducts, this section being connected to a second container section accommodating the charge air cooler. The second container section is connected to a third container section that carries the air to the charge air cooler. To optimize the intake unit, the internal combustion engine is provided in the form of an outboard motor and the machine housing includes a vertical crankshaft system with two crankshafts and horizontal cylinders. The exhaust gas turbocharger created by a turbine and a charger is disposed on a top front side of the machine housing. The first container section, the second container section, and the third container section are combined as one integral unit to form an intake unit module composed of a light alloy. The third container section is created as a tubular body that tapers down from the second container toward the charger.

    Abstract: A pivoting bearing is provided for two connecting rods in a reciprocating piston of an internal combustion engine having two crankshafts which are driven via the reciprocating piston and the connecting rods. The pivoting bearing is received by piston bores of the piston and has gudgeon pin bores for mounting gudgeon pins for gudgeon pin eyes of the connecting rods. The pivoting bearing has radial bearing regions which are provided with the pin bores, are arranged on both sides of a center longitudinal axis of the reciprocating pistons, and delimit the gudgeon pin eyes in a manner which forms an intermediate space. To optimize the pivoting bearing, the bearing regions of the pivoting bearing are configured as cylinder bodies with a cup-like cross section, of which each cylinder body has a base wall and a bearing ring shell. The base walls of the two cylinder bodies extend at a spacing from one another, and the bearing ring shells which surround the base walls are guided away from the base walls in opposite directions. A plurality of connecting stubs run between the base walls in such a way that two connecting stubs are arranged on a side of the pivoting bearing, which side faces a piston crown, and extend at a relatively small spacing from ring sections of the gudgeon pin eyes, and in such a way that the connecting stubs and the ring sections have lubricating structures for lubricating connecting rod bearings of the connecting rods.

    Abstract: A fan is suitable for an air-guiding system of an outboard motor including an internal combustion engine and a covering hood bounding an engine interior space. The engine drives the fan, which is connected to an upright shaft journal projecting beyond an upper side of a housing of the engine. The covering hood has air flow openings, and the fan influences the air flows in the covering hood interior space. A flywheel, fixedly attached to the upright shaft journal, carries a fan wheel of the fan. The fan wheel is set in place from above, and the flywheel carries the fan wheel for conjoint rotation. Airflows enter the interior space via an inlet opening and a first conducting device, and the airflows, under the action of the fan, act upon at least parts of surfaces of the internal combustion engine and the auxiliary units to cool the internal combustion engine.

    Abstract: A pivot bearing suitable for two connecting rods in at least one piston of an internal combustion engine having two crankshafts, includes radial bearing regions that are provided with bolt boreholes and are disposed on either side of a center longitudinal plane of the piston and delimit connecting rod ends, forming an intermediate space. The bearing regions are designed as cylinder bodies having a crucible-like cross-section, of which each cylinder body has a base wall and a bearing ring jacket. The base walls of the two cylinder bodies extend at a distance from each other, and the bearing ring jackets surrounding the base walls are guided away from the base walls in opposite directions. One or more connecting supports run between the base walls. The bearing ring jackets cooperate with the piston boreholes in a rotatably movable manner. The base walls are connected to bearing bushings which are oriented in the axial direction of the pivot bearing and into which the bolt boreholes are incorporated. The pivot bearing is made of a material that brings about a targeted low-weight construction of the pivot bearing, while offering high strength and low wear.
