  • Publication number: 20190136743
    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.

  • Patent number: 10180101
    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.

  • Patent number: 10161292
    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.
