ABSTRACT:
An engine is arranged in such a way that while the engine is running, cooling fluid flows along a flow path that goes into a cylinder block (12) from an inlet (12b) at one end side of the engine main body (10), goes around the first cylinder (13) to the fourth cylinder (16) arranged in a row to go by way of the other end side of the engine main body (10), and then goes to a cylinder head (11) through a communication channel (17) and a flow path that goes into the cylinder block (12) through the inlet (12b) at the one end side of the engine main body (10) and then directly goes to the cylinder head (11) through the communication channel (17). During the preheat process, warm cooling fluid stored in a thermal storage tank (20) enters into the cylinder block (12) from an inlet (12a) at the other end side of the engine main body (10), then flows in the direction from the fourth cylinder (16) toward the first cylinder (13) while diverging to both sides of the row of the cylinders, and flows into the cylinder head (11) through the communication channel (17).
