Abstract: A method for cooling a motor vehicle engine consists in regulating the volume and the flow rate of a coolant fluid in a hydraulic circuit provided with a degassing bypass hose equipped with an electronically controlled proportional actuator and with means forming direct return of fluid or bypass. The method comprises a step of determining the temperature of the cooling liquid, a step of comparing the temperature of the cooling liquid with a first and second threshold temperature, and a step of controlling the opening of the actuator such that, when the fluid temperature is between the first and the second threshold temperatures, the degree at which the actuator is opened is at least temporarily proportional to the cooling fluid temperature. The invention also concerns a device for cooling a motor vehicle engine.

The method comprises a first step of regulating the flow rate of the liquid in the first bypass hose to increase the speed of the increase in the temperature of the oil and a second step of regulating the flow rate of the liquid in the first bypass hose to maintain the temperature of the oil at about a reference temperature. The invention also concerns a device for cooling a motor vehicle engine.

Abstract: A method for cooling a motor vehicle engine consists in regulating the volume and the flow rate of a coolant fluid in a hydraulic circuit provided with a branch equipped with an electronically controlled actuator and means forming radiator. The method comprises a step of determining the temperature of the cooling liquid, a step of comparing the temperature of the cooling liquid with a specified threshold temperature from which the engine is said to be hot, and, when the temperature of the fluid is higher than the threshold temperature, the flow rate in the radiator branch is regulated so as to maintain the temperature of the cooling fluid around a specified setpoint value. The curve representing the opening of the thermostat valve based on the temperature of the cooling fluid exhibits an hysteresis around the setpoint temperature. The invention also concerns a device for cooling a motor vehicle engine.
