A cooling apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a fan that cools a coolant by operating at least at a first drive voltage and a second drive voltage higher than the first drive voltage; and a control unit that drives the fan at the first drive voltage when a vehicle is driven at a low vehicle speed that is a vehicle speed lower than a vehicle speed threshold and a coolant temperature is higher than a fan low-voltage activation threshold.

Cooling apparatus for internal combustion engine

A raised portion is formed at a predetermined location on an inside surface of a wall portion of an intake manifold. A gas introduction hole for introducing gas containing water vapor is formed in another predetermined location, other than in the raised portion, in the inside surface of the wall portion. An intake air negative pressure outlet hole for releasing intake air negative pressure within the surge tank to the outside is formed in the raised portion. A guide groove which catches moisture that trickles down the inside surface of the wall portion above the raised portion and guides it to a location away from the intake air negative pressure outlet hole, is formed in a region above the intake air negative pressure outlet hole in a rising surface of the raised portion.

Resin intake manifold

A cooling apparatus of an internal combustion engine includes an insert that is deformable, and a surface of the insert opposing a cylinder bore wall is close to the cylinder bore wall after the insert is inserted into a water jacket. A cooling apparatus of an internal combustion engine includes a cylinder block having a water jacket in which an insert is disposed; the cylinder block is machined so that a water hole or an aperture having a size corresponding to a size of the insert is formed in the cylinder block and the insert can be inserted into the water jacket through the water hole or the aperture.

Cooling apparatus of an internal combustion engine

A cooling apparatus of an internal combustion engine includes a closed deck-type cylinder block and an insert. The cylinder block includes a water jacket and an upper deck including a water hole formed therein. The insert is disposed in the water jacket and inserted into the water jacket through the water hole. The insert is fixed relative to the cylinder block at a water hole portion such that the insert is fixed in position in a flow direction of the cooling water. A stopper for preventing the insert from moving downstream in a flow direction of the cooling water may be formed, and the insert engages the stopper such that the insert is fixed in position in the flow direction of the cooling water.
