Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for providing auxiliary heat to a charge air cooler to reduce condensate formation. A coolant valve may control the delivery of heated engine coolant to the inlet side of the charge air cooler. The coolant valve may be adjusted based on condensate formation in the charge air cooler and a temperature at the charge air cooler outlet.
