1. A crankcase, comprising:
at least one cylinder for an internal combustion engine, the cylinder including:
a cylinder interior;
a cylinder liner which is arranged within the cylinder interior;
a cylinder head which closes the cylinder interior, wherein the cylinder head includes a receiving way;
a cooling system which guides a coolant flow and has a cooling chamber;
a distribution system to separate the coolant flow into a primary partial flow and at least one secondary partial flow, the distribution system including a main channel for the primary partial flow and at least one branch-off passage for the at least one secondary partial flow, the at least one branch-off passage branching off from the main channel and being arranged transversely to the main channel for the at least one secondary partial flow, wherein the distribution system includes a plurality of distribution sections and the at least one branch-off passage includes a plurality of the at least one branch-off passage, wherein a respective one of the plurality of distribution sections is fluidically connected with a respective one of the plurality of the at least one branch-off passage, the plurality of the at least one branch-off passage being arranged transversely to a longitudinal axis of the cylinder, the main channel being positioned entirely external to the cylinder head.
2. The crankcase of claim 1 , wherein the receiving way at least one of includes and guides one of a receiving sleeve and a receiving bushing for one of a device and a component which extends into the cylinder, wherein one of the device and the component is one of an injector and an ignition device.
3. The crankcase according to claim 1 , wherein the cylinder liner includes a top-liner region and a residual region, the distribution system is configured for supplying the at least one secondary partial flow to the top-liner region that is located closer to the cylinder head and is configured for supplying the primary partial flow to the residual region located further removed from the cylinder head.
4. The crankcase according to claim 1 , wherein the cylinder head includes a flame deck, the cooling system includes a supply passage configured for feeding the coolant flow along the receiving way onto the flame deck of the cylinder head in such a way that an impingement flow occurs on the flame deck.
5. The crankcase according to claim 1 , wherein the cylinder liner includes at least one cooling zone, the at least one branch-off passage being fluidically connected with the at least one cooling zone of the cylinder liner.
6. The crankcase according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of distribution sections includes a first distribution section and a second distribution section, the first distribution section having a first cross-section that is smaller than a second cross-section of the second distribution section arranged upstream in a flow direction of the coolant flow.
7. The crankcase according to claim 6 , wherein the first cross-section and the second cross-section are each round.
8. The crankcase according to claim 1 , wherein the distribution system is arranged in a flow direction after the cylinder head.
9. The crankcase according to claim 1 , wherein one of the distribution system and a branch of the crankcase is arranged in a flow direction before of the cylinder head.
10. The crankcase according to claim 1 , further including a supply passage which is arranged concentrically around the receiving way.
11. The crankcase according to claim 1 , further including a supply passage, the supply passage and the receiving way for one of an injector and an ignition device together form a nozzle having an annular cross-section.
