AI Technical Summary
In existing engines, the heat in the local high-heat-load areas of the cylinder head cannot be transferred to the coolant in time under high-power operation, resulting in a rise in peak temperature, thermal fatigue cracks, and engine knocking.
A closed sodium-filled superconducting element is embedded inside the cylinder head. The heat transfer medium absorbs heat at the heat absorption end and vaporizes, and condenses at the heat dissipation end. Heat is transferred to the coolant through phase change, avoiding the increase of flow resistance in the narrow branch water channel.
It effectively reduces the peak temperature in areas with high local heat load, reduces the temperature distribution difference, lowers the probability of engine knocking, and avoids sealing failure problems caused by complex water channel design.
