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.
