Abstract:
1. A coolant circulation system for an engine, comprising: a water pump supplying coolant to the engine; a cylinder block including a plurality of cylinders; a cylinder head coupled to the top of the cylinder block; an intake block water jacket formed on one side of the cylinder block based on the plurality of cylinders; an exhaust block water jacket formed on another side of the cylinder block based on the plurality of cylinders; an intake side chamber provided on one surface of the cylinder block in a length direction of the engine in which the plurality of cylinders are arranged in parallel; an exhaust side chamber provided on another surface of the cylinder block in the length direction of the engine in which the plurality of cylinders are arranged in parallel; and a head water jacket formed in the cylinder head, wherein the intake block water jacket is disposed upstream of the head water jacket and the exhaust block water jacket is disposed downstream of the head water jacket to allow the intake block water jacket and the exhaust block water jacket to be in fluid-communication with each other through the head water jacket and, wherein the intake side chamber is disposed upstream of the head water jacket and the exhaust side chamber is disposed downstream of the head water jacket to allow the intake side chamber and the exhaust side chamber to be in fluid-communication with each other through the head water jacket; wherein the intake block water jacket, the exhaust block water jacket, the intake side chamber, and the exhaust side chamber are formed for the coolant supplied to the engine to cool the engine while passing through the cylinder block; and the head water jacket is formed for the coolant supplied to the engine to cool the engine while passing through the cylinder head, wherein the intake block water jacket and the intake side chamber are separately formed to the cylinder block, and the exhaust block water jacket and the exhaust side chamber are separately formed to the cylinder block, and wherein the coolant supplied to the engine cools the cylinder block while circulating in the length direction of the engine along the intake side chamber and the exhaust side chamber.
