Embodiment Construction
[0028] The following description relates to systems and methods for a cooling circuit having cooling jackets corresponding to cylinder heads and engine blocks. The cooling jacket of the cylinder head is fluidly sealed from the cooling jacket of the engine block. The cooling jacket of the cylinder head further includes one or more regions corresponding to the cylinders of the engine. In one example, the number of zones may be equal to the number of cylinders. A coolant circuit fluidly coupled to the cylinder head cooling jacket and the engine block cooling jacket is shown in figure 1 and 2 middle. A top-down view of the coolant system is shown at image 3middle. Coolant may flow to regions of the cylinder head corresponding to active cylinders, while flow of coolant to regions of the cylinder head corresponding to deactivated cylinders may be blocked during certain conditions. The method used to flow coolant through the jacket and coolant loop is shown in image 3 middl...
