摘要： The coolant of the first coolant circuit is mixed with the coolant of the second coolant circuit when the temperature detected by the coolant temperature sensor becomes greater than or equal to a semi-warm-up determination value, which is set to a temperature that is lower than a warm-up completion determination value of the engine. Accordingly, when the heat generated by the engine and the heat recovered by the exhaust heat recovery device from the in-vehicle heat source are independently used to increase the temperature of the coolant, control can be executed without any trouble based on the coolant temperature even when mixing the coolant of the engine with the coolant of the exhaust heat recovery device, in which the temperatures have been increased independently.

摘要： A cooler apparatus includes: a coolant passageway; a water pump that circulates coolant in the coolant passageway; a thermostat that includes a heater that heats a temperature sensitive portion; and a controller. The controller is configured to drive the water pump and cause electric current to flow through the heater at a first energization amount when an operation in which the coolant is injected into the coolant passageway is started. The controller is also configured to stop electric current to flow through the heater if the water pump races when the electric current flows through the heater at the first energization amount.

摘要： A cooling apparatus that cools with coolant a subject of cooling, which is a heat source. The cooling apparatus includes a cooling circuit, an electric pump, a switching section, and a control section. Through circulation of the coolant, air in the cooing circuit is caused to flow to an air bleeding portion and is discharged from the cooling circuit through the air bleeding portion. The switching section is capable of switching the operation mode of the electric pump between a normal mode and an air bleeding mode for collecting air in the cooling circuit to the air bleeding portion. During the air bleeding mode, the control section is capable of controlling the electric pump to change a coolant displacement from the electric pump according to a change pattern that allows stagnant air in sections of the cooling circuit to flow to the air bleeding portion.

摘要： A cooling apparatus includes an electric water pump that circulates a coolant, a radiator that radiates heat of the coolant, an electric fan that cools the radiator, a control device, and first flow rate correction means. The control device controls the discharge flow rate of the electric water pump based on a target flow rate set based on an amount of heat generated in an engine, and controls operation of the electric fan based on a coolant temperature. When the coolant temperature is equal to or higher than a fan operation temperature at which the operation of the electric fan is started, the first flow rate correction means increases the discharge flow rate of the electric water pump in accordance with an increase in the coolant temperature.
