Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present subject matter discloses an internal combustion (IC) engine (101). The internal combustion (IC) engine (101) comprising a heat exchanger (201). The heat exchanger (201) is integrated to a cylinder block (204) on a return path of engine oil after cooling a combustion chamber (207) and is thermally isolated from the cylinder block (204) through an air gap (401). Further, the circuitous path of oil flow within the heat exchanger (201) is designed based on cooling efficiency and IC engine design requirements. Furthermore, the integrated heat exchanger (201) comprises perpendicular projections (206b, 501a) around its outer surface to further improve the rate of dissipation of heat. The present subject matter eliminates the need for external heat exchanger, provides better cooling and lubricating characteristics of engine oil. Ultimately, the performance of the IC engine (101) also improves through optimization of available space.
