Abstract: A flow control valve is provided to adjust the flow rate of coolant and a variable-separation-cooling process at the same time by adjusting the opening degree of the flow control valve. The ports are controlled simultaneously in a variable manner merely by the operation of the flow control valve and thus, a variable temperature control process for increasing the temperature of the entire engine, rapid engine warm-up, and a separated cooling process at the same time is realized.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a technology that can simultaneously control the flow rate of a coolant and perform variable separate cooling by controlling the opening rate of a flow control valve. The flow control valve has an inlet port connected to a coolant outlet of a cylinder block and a plurality of outlet ports connected to a cooling inlet port of an engine such that the opening rate of a first outlet port is symmetrically changed in a first direction and a second direction from a mid-operation angle of the entire operation section of the flow control valve.

Abstract: A cooling system for vehicles and a control method thereof improves indoor heating performance and fuel efficiency by controlling a flow rate of a coolant passing through a heater core together with an EGR cooler. A coolant having an increased temperature is first supplied to the heater core side through a flow stagnancy control to rapidly increase the temperature of the coolant flowing in the heater core, thereby improving heating performance. A warm-up feature is improved through an exhaust heat recovery function by a heat exchange between the exhaust gas and the coolant in the EGR cooler, thereby improving efficiency of fuel.

Abstract: A fail-safe control method for a vehicle cooling system, in which an engine and a vehicle can be properly operated even when a water temperature sensor malfunctions. When only one of two water temperature sensors malfunctions, control may be performed so that an engine and a vehicle can properly operate. When both the two water temperature sensors malfunction, the fail-safe function of the flow rate control valve can be enabled to entirely prevent cooling water from being overheated, thereby improving the reliability of the operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: A cooling system for a vehicle and a control method thereof improves fuel efficiency through quick warm-up of an engine by controlling a flow rate of cooling water passing through an EGR cooler. In the cooling system and control method cooling water with an increased temperature through flow stagnation control is first supplied to an oil heat exchanger side. Heat energy generated from the engine is used to rapidly raise a cooling water temperature and an oil temperature. A warm-up characteristic is improved through the exhaust heat recovery function by heat exchange between exhaust gas and the cooling water in the EGR cooler.

Abstract: Disclosed is a canned motor for restraining a cogging torque from being generated by inserting magnetic metal pins into slot openings of a stator, thereby reducing noise and vibrations during an operation of the canned motor. The canned motor includes: a can inserted into a housing to seal a coil mounted within the housing; and a stator installed on an outer peripheral surface of the can and inserted along an inner peripheral surface of the housing. A plurality of fixing guides protrude from an outer peripheral surface of the can and metal pins are inserted into the fixing guides to be integral with the fixing guide, such that the metal pins are inserted into and attached to slot openings of the stator when inserted into the stator.

The can-integrated volute body includes a volute body part disposed between a water power part housing and a motor housing and a can part disposed between a rotor and a stator. The volute body part separates a water power part from a driving motor and the can part separates the rotor from the stator. The volute body part and the can part may be integrally formed as one continuous piece and the rotor support is disposed inside the volute body part and rotatably supports the rotor and a motor shaft.

Abstract: An oil circuit for a continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) device includes a main oil passage from a cylinder block toward a cylinder head to feed oil from a main gallery to a cam shaft, and a control oil passage branching off from the main oil passage on a side of the cylinder block and formed so as to feed the oil from the main oil passage to the continuous variable valve timing devices via an intake-side oil control valve and an exhaust-side oil control valve. The oil is fed to the cam shaft, the intake-side CVVT device, the exhaust-side CVVT device and a timing chain tensioner at one time. Thereby, the hydraulic pressure the hydraulic pressure applied to two cam shafts can be equally maintained, and the tension of a belt or a chain can be simultaneously regulated so as to improve the driving force of a crank.

Abstract: An oil supply structure for reducing friction of a cam shaft attached to a valve train of an automotive engine is disclosed. An oil supply hole formed in a cam shaft is, repeatedly connected and disconnected to a cylinder head oil supply hole during the rotation of the cam shaft. An oil pocket is established in the form of a concave groove in a section in the circumferential direction on an inner circumferential surface of a cam cap assembled on the top of the cam shaft so as to supply oil to the oil pocket only when the cylinder head oil supply hole is connected to the cam shaft oil supply hole. It is thus possible to supply oil to the oil pocket through the cam shaft oil supply hole at specific points of time and, simultaneously, to sufficiently ensure the sealing width in other regions than the oil pocket, thus reducing oil loss and obtaining a more efficient friction reduction.

The EGR distributor is preferably manufactured in the form of a single component by AL die casting method.

Abstract: A cooling system for an engine wherein a cylinder block side is mounted with a stagnation chamber for detaining, around a temperature-sensing unit of a sub-thermostat, a portion of cooling water discharged to a high temperature passage via an outlet of a cooling water passage of the cylinder block side such that the opening and closing of the sub-thermostat is modulated by the temperature of the cooling water at the cylinder block side. The cooling system includes a main thermostat and a sub-thermostat for individually controlling the flow of cooling water in a cylinder block and a cylinder head. The stagnation chamber, where cooling water discharged from the cylinder block is stagnated, is installed inside a sub-thermostat housing, i.e. where a sub-thermostat is mounted. The stagnation chamber is positioned therein with a temperature-sensing unit. The stagnation chamber communicates with a cooling water discharge passage of the cylinder head via a confluence passage.
