Abstract

With a poppet valve using a coolant, maximum combustion efficiency is realized by adjusting relative values of a heat insulation effect and a heat dissipation effect. From the inside of a head portion (14) to a stem portion (12) of a hollow poppet valve (10) a heat insulating space (S1) and a cooling portion (S2) loaded with a coolant (19), separated from each other by a partition (15), are formed. By properly setting an installation position and a vertical length of the partition (15) according to a type of vehicle for which the valve is used, appropriate heat insulation effect and heat dissipation effect are obtained. Further, by the partition (15), mechanical or thermal strength of the poppet valve in which the heat insulating space (S1) and the cooling portion (S2) are formed is increased.
