  • METHOD FOR THE CONTROL OF A SWITCHABLE WATER PUMP IN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
    Publication number: 20110112742
    Abstract: A method is provided for the control of a switchable water pump for a water cooling circuit in an internal combustion engine. The method includes, but is not limited to monitoring a parameter representative of the cylinder head temperature and, in case the temperature is below a predetermined value, perform at least an on-off cycle for the switchable water pump. The on-off cycle, includes, but is not limited to at least a first phase in which the water pump is switched OFF for a time period T1 and a second phase in which the water pump is switched ON for a time period T2.

  • Internal combustion engines having separated cooling circuits for the cylinder head and the engine block
    Patent number: 6340006
    Abstract: A cooling system for an internal combustion engine includes a first circuit for cooling the cylinder head and a second circuit for cooling the engine block which are completely separated from each other and make use of a first fluid and a second fluid which are never mixed with each other. The flow of the first fluid circulating in the circuit for cooling the cylinder head is used, totally or partially, for cooling the second fluid which cools the engine block in a heat exchanger. Preferably, the second cooling fluid is the engine lubricating oil.
