    摘要: A thermal management system and method for a vehicle includes a cooling system having a variable cooling capacity and which is connectable to a heat-producing system of the vehicle. A control system is configured to increase the cooling capacity of the cooling system to a first predetermined level in response to the at least one input indicating an increase in the future heat load of the heat-producing system when a temperature of the cooling system is at least a predetermined temperature and the cooling system is operating below the first predetermined level. The control system is also configured to inhibit increasing the cooling capacity of the cooling system to the first predetermined level in response to the at least one input indicating an increase in the future heat load of the heat-producing system when the temperature of the cooling system is less than the predetermined temperature.

    摘要: A system for controlling a fan in a vehicle having a heat exchanger may include defining first and second geographic areas and determining a geographic location of the vehicle. A processor may be programmed to send a signal to operate the fan in a first rotational direction to move air through the heat exchanger in a first direction, and to send a signal to the fan to operate it in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction to move air through the heat exchanger in a second direction opposite the first direction when a plurality of conditions are met.
