Abstract:
A cooling apparatus for a power-pack in a hybrid vehicle may include a power-pack that acquires traveling information of the vehicle and controls the operation of an engine and a motor, a low-temperature radiator that is connected with power-pack through a cooling water channel, dissipates heat from the cooling water discharged from power-pack, and is arranged in parallel with a radiator, and an electric water pump that is disposed in the cooling water channel and operated in response to an electric signal output from an ECU to circulate the cooling water through power-pack and low-temperature radiator. The cooling apparatus may also include a cooling fan. A cooling method of using the cooling apparatus may include determining engine operation, determining start of a water pump, and operating a water pump. The cooling method may also include starting a cooling fan, operating a cooling and examining a water pump.
Abstract:
An integrated heat management system may include an engine system circulation line around an engine and a transmission circulation line around an automatic transmission. The engine system circulation line and the transmission circulation line may be integrated by a control valve having a plurality of input and output ports. The integrated heat management system controls opening and closing of the control valve in accordance with engine cooling water temperature and automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature, which may be changed after engine start-up, and implements a variety of modes for varying an engine cooling water flow. Therefore, the integrated heat manage system shortens an engine warm-up time, prevents a bad effect in a low-temperature state due to a fast temperature increase of the ATF, and satisfies performance required by a vehicle of which the fuel-efficiency may be improved and the efficiency may be increased in a high oil price environment.
