There is provided a cooling system for a liquid-cooled engine wherein the cooling effect exerted by the combination of a pump and a blower is optimized according to the state of the load on the engine so that the necessary cooling effect can be provided by the pump and the blower and that the power consumption can be reduced. In the cooling system, according to the load on the engine, a target cooling water temperature (Tmap) value and a combination of the operation duty ratios of the pump (500) and the blower (230), which produce the target water temperature (Tmap), are formed into a map. In an actual cooling system, when the target water temperature (Tmap) is obtained, the pump and the blower are respectively controlled by the duty ratios so that the sum (Lc) of the power consumptions thereof can be minimized.

Fan horsepower requirements and the size of power train heat exchangers may be reduced in a vehicular cooling system that includes an inlet (14) for the receipt of ambient air and first and second heat exchangers (28), (40) in proximity to the inlet (14) to receive ambient air therefrom and which are respectively adapted to receive first and second heat exchanger fluids by the ambient air. The first and second heat exchangers (28), (40) are in side by side, substantially non superimposed relation to define first and second air flow paths (52, 54) extending in fluid flow parallel to a respective one of the heat exchangers (28), (40) from the inlet (14) to points (50), (52), (54) of discharge. A fan (44) flows air from the inlet (14) through the flow paths (52, 54) and a shutter (56) is located in one of the flow paths (54) and is movable between first and second positions respectively restricting air flow and allowing relatively unrestricted air flow. An actuator (88) provided for moving the shutter (56) between the positions and a control (90, 98, 100) is provided for the actuator (88) which is responsive to power train and air conditioning system operating conditions.
摘要:
When air passing through a condenser and a radiator passes through a cooling fan in a state where a driving circuit controls a voltage applied to a motor to be constant in accordance with a motor application voltage instructed by a control signal Sa, a motor current Im decreases. A comparator compares the motor current Im with a reference current set on the basis of a motor voltage Vm. When the motor current Im decreases to a value equal to or lower than the reference current, a switching circuit is switched to select an output signal of an operational amplifier. The operational amplifier performs a feedback control so that the motor voltage Vm coincides with a minimum application voltage VL.

An arrangement and a process for controlling the temperature of a medium, particularly of the cooling water temperature of a motor vehicle engine. At least two energy-consuming units influence the temperature to be controlled, of which at least one can be controlled with respect to its output. A control unit adjusts the output of these units for causing a required influencing of the temperature. The output of each temperature-influencing unit is adjusted by means of a previously determined, energy-minimal characteristic diagram KE which indicates for each system condition the operating point of the absolutely minimal energy consumption of the energy-consuming units for controlling the temperature according to a respective desired value.

An air conditioning reactor is provided for producing high temperature, high pressure refrigerant in an engine driven air conditioning system. The system derives power from the waste heat from the coolant of an exothermic engine. The reactor has a double chamber construction which includes an inner chamber and outer chamber. Low temperature refrigerant vapor flows into the inner chamber while high temperature coolant flows into the outer chamber and around the exterior of the inner chamber, thereby raising the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant inside the inner chamber, and causing release of high pressure, high temperature refrigerant out of the inner chamber of the reactor. The reactor can therefore eliminate the need for a compressor in an air conditioning system by utilizing the waste heat in the coolant flowing out of a thermal combustion engine to produce high pressure, high temperature vapor. The reactor can also operate having a reactor chamber internal an engine or engine housing wherein the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant in the reactor chamber is raised by the transfer of energy from the high temperature engine.

An engine cooling fan control system includes a vehicle speed sensor, a pressure sensor for sensing the pressure of refrigerant provided to a refrigerant condenser forming part of the vehicle air conditioning system and a controller responsive to the vehicle speed and refrigerant pressure signals to operate an engine cooling fan. The engine cooling fan is activated continuously while vehicle speed is below a first speed threshold if the refrigerant pressure exceeds a first pressure. While the vehicle speed is above the first speed threshold, but below a second speed threshold, the engine cooling fan is activated for a predetermined duration if the refrigerant pressure is above the first pressure. Finally, while the vehicle speed is above the second speed threshold, the engine cooling fan is activated in response to the refrigerant pressure exceeding the first pressure and deactivated in response to the refrigerant pressure falling below a second lower pressure.
