Abstract

In a liquid cooled cylinder head for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine including in the cylinder head a cooling water space which is divided into cooling water space sections each disposed above one of the combustion chambers formed in the cylinder head bottom, a trapezoid-shaped cooling water flow control rib element projects from the cylinder head top above each combustion chamber in a plane extending essentially normal to the flow direction of the cooling water in the cylinder head such that the cooling water is deflected onto the cylinder head bottom above the respective combustion chambers.
