Abstract:
A method for controlling a cooling system for a vehicle is provided. The system includes an engine, an EGR cooler, an oil cooler, a heater, a radiator, and a controller. The engine, the EGR cooler, the oil cooler, the heater, and the radiator are respectively connected through a coolant line and coolant circulates through the engine, the EGR cooler, the oil cooler, the heater, and the radiator by operation of a water pump. The controller receives the coolant from the engine and operates a control valve connected with the oil cooler, the heater, and the radiator. The method includes: sensing driving conditions and operating the control valve when a cooling mode is required to decrease the temperature within the vehicle based on the sensed driving conditions. The control valve is operated based on modes controlled depending on a coolant temperature, and among the plurality of modes, one is iteratively performed.

Abstract:
A system for controlling exhaust heat recovery and an exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR), the system includes an exhaust gas post processing device mounted on an outlet of an engine exhaust manifold, an exhaust gas purifying device, an exhaust heat recovery chamber having an exhaust gas pick-up space and further having a structure in which a cooling water flow passage is formed on the outside, and further being mounted on the outlet of the exhaust gas post processing device, a bypass valve mounted on an outlet of the exhaust heat recovery, and an EGR valve mounted on the exhaust heat recovery chamber to be opened and closed to circulate the exhaust gas in the exhaust gas pick-up space to an EGR cooler and an engine intake manifold.
Abstract:
An integrated exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler includes a cooling core allowing an exhaust manifold and an intake manifold to be in communication with each other and an integrated housing having the cooling core inserted thereinto. The integrated housing is provided with a first exhaust port exhausting a coolant introduced thereinto only when a thermo-sensitive device mounted in the integrated housing is operated and a second exhaust port always exhausting the coolant introduced thereinto. An amount of the coolant introduced into an EGR cooler is maximized. Therefore, cooling efficiency may be maximized, and a size of the cooling core may be decreased.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a cooling system for a hybrid electric vehicle can include measuring an outside air temperature, determining whether the measured outside air temperature is within a preset low-temperature environment temperature range, determining, in a case where a determination is made that the outside air temperature is within the low-temperature environment temperature range, whether a vehicle state corresponds to a preset heating mode, detecting, in a case where a determination is made that the vehicle state does not correspond to the heating mode, a coolant temperature, and controlling, in a case where a determination is made that the coolant temperature detected by a coolant temperature measurement unit is within a preset target temperature range, opening and closing of a control valve by the controller to selectively perform a coolant flow stop control in a low-temperature environment.
