Abstract
A reverse-flow cooling system for an internal combustion engine uses an aqueous, boilable liquid coolant, having a saturation temperature at least equal to water. The engine is provided with discrete combustion chamber and cylinder bore cooling chambers that are cooled by a coolant pumped from a heat exchanger first to the combustion chamber cooling chamber, thence to the cylinder bore cooling chamber. Gases found in the combustion chamber cooling chamber are condensed in a condenser and then returned to a relatively low pressure area of the cooling circuit.
