Abstract
The invention is a liquid to liquid heat exchanger incorporated into the body of an internal combustion engine. A first cooling liquid, e.g., oil, is circulated through passages in the engine block and along one side of a heat conducting wall integral the engine block. A second cooling liquid, e.g., water, is circulated through a cooling water passage adjacent to the heat conducting wall to remove heat from the first cooling liquid; and may also be pumped through other passages within the engine block for cooling purposes.
