Abstract:
A first fluid system includes a thermostat portion T, a valve portion V, and an ECU 30A. The thermostat portion T includes a first thermostat 18 in a first divergent pathway PB1 and a second thermostat 19 in a second divergent pathway PB2. The valve portion V includes a valve mechanism in at least a second portion SG2 of portions SG1, SG2, SG3. In the ECU 30A, achieved is a control unit that controls the valve portion V to switch a flow control state of at least one of the valve mechanism of the valve portion V when one of an open failure and a close failure occurs in one of the thermostats 18, 19.
Abstract:
A following distance control device (1) that controls a vehicle to regulate a distance to a preceding vehicle to a target following distance, the following distance control device (1) including: detecting unit (30) that detect at least one of acceleration operation (12) or deceleration operation (13) by a driver; a target following distance changing unit that changes the target following distance on the basis of the acceleration operation (12) or the deceleration operation (13) by the driver that is detected by the detecting unit (30); and an inhibition unit that inhibits a changing amount of the target following distance by the target following distance changing unit when the given acceleration operation (12) or the given deceleration operation (13) is executed.
Abstract:
An engine system with a thermal storage device is capable of efficiently supplying heat from a thermal storage device to an internal combustion engine. The engine system (1) equipped with the thermal storage tank (100) supplies the hot water stored in the thermal storage tank (100) to a cylinder head (20a) of the internal combustion engine (20) before the starting thereof. At this time, an electronic control unit (90) sets a target value of the temperature of the internal combustion engine (20) at the start of the hot water supply in such a manner that the lower the temperature of the internal combustion engine (20), the lower does the target value become. As a result, a variation in combustion states between cylinders can be suppressed at the starting of the internal combustion engine (20).
