A system and method for that allows one part of an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process sequence to occur at a first temperature while allowing another part of the ALD process sequence to occur at a second temperature. In such a fashion, the first temperature can be chosen to be lower such that decomposition or desorption of the adsorbed first reactant does not occur, and the second temperature can be chosen to be higher such that comparably greater deposition rate and film purity can be achieved. Additionally, the invention relates to improved temperature control in ALD to switch between these two thermal states in rapid succession. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

The invention provides an engine cooling water jacket which has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, uniform flow rate and low pressure loss. The engine cooling water jacket comprises a cylinder body water jacket and a cylinder cover water jacket, wherein the cylinder body water jacket is separated by two baffle plates to form a first flow channel and a second flow channel, and the first flow channel and the second flow channel are communicated with the cylinder cover water jacket through water holes in a cylinder gasket; and coolant mainly flows into the first flow channel from a water inlet and flows through an air exhaust side, then flows into the cylinder cover water jacket through the water holes at one side of the cylinder gasket, subsequently flows into the second flow channel through the water holes at the other side of the cylinder gasket and flows through an air admission side, and finally flows out from a water outlet. Thus, the invention enables the flow rate of the coolant in the whole engine cooling water jacket to be more uniform, reduces the thermal-state deformation of the cylinder holes and improves the dynamic performance of the engine; and the water holes in the cylinder gasket can be arranged as required without being influenced by the design of traditional water jacket cylinder holes, thereby integrally increasing the flow areas of the water holes in the cylinder gasket, reducing the pressure loss of the whole water jacket and lowering the performance requirements for water pumps.
